But in a Houston-area school, it was an inspirational quote presented at face value, unattributed, in stark black lettering above a row of lockers. This is the wall at Gregory-Lincoln Middle School in Houston ISD. “It’s perpetuating horrible gender stereotypes, shaming women, and relinquishing boys of all responsibility,” Beckman wrote. “The quote does not align with HISD values, and it will be taken down,” the school said in a statement provided to Houston Public Media. An HISD teacher who wished to remain anonymous told KHOU11 that she was uncomfortable with the quote’s place in the school to begin with.
