O'Keefe Media Group released undercover footage this week of Christopher Segal, an English and drama teacher at Gunderson Middle School here in Las Vegas. Segal previously chaired the school's DEI committee and uses they/them pronouns.
And somewhere along the way, he decided that coaching 11-year-olds on their sexual identity was part of his job description.
“I've had kids ask me, like, coach them on coming out [as queer],” he said on camera. “They come out, and I'm like, ‘awesome.' They know I'm queer.”

These are middle schoolers. Some of them are 11.
They're at school to learn reading and math, and this guy is playing life coach for their sexual awakening.
He's not shy about it, either. When asked if he's pushing these conversations on students, he responds “Yes, absolutely. Everyone should be a little gay, everybody.”
That's a worldview he's been sharing with your kids, whether you knew about it or not.
The part that should make every Nevada parent's blood pressure spike is what he thinks about you. When parents aren't on board with all of this, Segal doesn't see that as a boundary worth respecting. He sees it as your failure.
“If you had a better relationship with your child, they would trust you to tell you,” he said. “Don't come after me because I support them.”
So a teacher who inserted himself into your child's identity without your knowledge is also the one judging your parenting. That takes a special kind of nerve.
Clark County School District policy requires parental involvement before staff can use a student's preferred name or pronouns. Segal knows the policy exists. He just doesn't think it applies to him.
“I break the law and still call kids what they want me to call them,” he said.
If your kid was going through something that big, you'd want to know. Most parents would.
The Supreme Court thinks they should know, too. They ruled 6-3 in Mahmoud v. Taylor that parents have a right to notice and opt-outs when schools use curriculum involving gender identity or LGBTQ+ topics that conflict with their religious beliefs.
Segal's response to all of that: I don't care.
The classroom activism ran wider than gender too. He admitted using Critical Race Theory as a teaching lens, with discussions built around race, identity, policing, and systemic discrimination.
And when some of his students showed up with a different point of view?
“I had a group of, like, four boys who, at the bottom there, just did giant MAGA letters. And I was like, and two of them were black kids. Why are you MAGA kids?”
Kids expressed a political opinion he didn't share, and his reaction was to question why they held it. In a classroom. Where he's the adult with the grade book.
Clark County School District has not responded and no disciplinary action has been announced.
Nevada parents have been showing up to school board meetings for years trying to draw exactly this line. This video is why.
It's not a conspiracy theory or a culture war talking point. It's a teacher, on tape, telling you he knows better than you do about what your child needs – and he's been acting on that belief for a while now.
Clark County owes every parent in that district an answer. A real one.
