Conservatives on social media erupted over a clip showing a top education official in Michigan<\/a> struggling to answer a question from a Republican lawmaker on how many genders exist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the viral clip,\u00a0resurfaced on X<\/u><\/a> by conservative influencer LibsofTikTok on Sunday and seen over 2 million times, Michigan Chief Deputy Superintendent Dr. Sue Carnell is asked in an Oct. 28 hearing by Republican state Rep. Jay DeBoyer about her opinion on how many genders exist.<\/p>\n

“How many genders are there,” DeBoyer asked, prompting Carnell to smile and pause without answering. “How many genders are there?” DeBoyer asked again.<\/p>\n

“Different people have different beliefs on that,” Carnell responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The clip quickly went viral on social media and resulted in conservatives lambasting Carnell for not directly answering and instead explaining the importance of inclusivity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon reacted in a statement to Fox News Digital saying, “Democrats want to sexualize every facet of the curriculum and the MBOE is imposing its radical ideology on all Michigan K-12 schools.”<\/p>\n

“3\/4 Michigan kids can\u2019t read at grade level,” GOP Michigan state Sen. Aric Nesbitt\u00a0posted on X.<\/u><\/a> “When you realize these are the people in charge of education in Michigan, that number starts to make a lot more sense.”<\/p>\n

“Surprised progressives are still not prepared for the \u2018what is a woman\u2019 question when they testify at hearings,” Heritage Foundation VP Roger Severino\u00a0posted on X.<\/u><\/a> “You would think they would have come up with something better than ‘I’m not a biologist’ (as Justice Jackson said) by now.”<\/p>\n

“This is beyond embarrassing,” conservative influencer Paul A. Szypula\u00a0posted on X<\/u><\/a>. “If a person can\u2019t answer how many genders there are then they shouldn\u2019t be allowed to vote.”<\/p>\n

“She is caught in the grips of an institutionalized mania,” political commentator Wesley Yang\u00a0posted on X<\/u>.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Carnell explained, “What\u00a0I want people to know about gender identity is what\u2019s in the update to the Michigan Health Education Standards Guidelines. It\u2019s not about gotcha questions. It\u2019s about providing local school districts with research-based information about health topics and including a few standards about gender identity areas for consideration by local schools.”<\/p>\n

Carnell went on to say that the guidelines provide students, by completion of 8th grade, to be able to “Define gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, and explain that they are distinct components of every individual\u2019s identity” and “explain how biological sex, gender identity, and gender expression are distinct concepts and how they interact with each other.”<\/p>\n

Last week, the Michigan State Board of Education\u00a0approved<\/u><\/a> new state sex education standards, which include recommendations that students be taught about gender identity and sexual orientation\u00a0despite pushback from some parents and pastors, who argue they undermine parental rights and religious liberties.<\/p>\n

The standards, which were being debated in the viral clip of Carnell, were adopted after a 6-2 vote.<\/p>\n

“Despite serious concerns from parents and legislators, board members passed this controversial far left change while the state already had standards,” Dixon told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

The state Department of Education emphasized that the standards are only guidelines and not mandates, adding that schools are still required to comply with all relevant state law.<\/p>\n

“The standards provide guidance to local school districts and, as in previous versions, local control remains in place and parents retain the right to decide whether their children should participate in sex education instruction,” the state Department of Education said in a news release after the vote.<\/p>\n

“Local boards of education determine the health curriculum for their districts which may include sex education curriculum \u2014 if the district decides to offer sex ed\u2014 that has been reviewed by local sex education advisory boards that must include 50% parent representation,” it added.<\/p>\n
