Screen shot of recorded meeting between undercover Mom and parent of CBMS students, with Copper Beach principal Frank Ruolo and Science Teacher Steve Trinkle
By Dan Murphy
An “undercover mom” has uncovered a disturbing “personality test” that included sexually explicit content for 11 and 12 year old students at the Copper Beach Middle School, CBMS, in the Lakeland School District.
And the same mother of a CBMS student recorded a meeting that she asked for with CBMS Principal Frank Ruolo and CBMS teacher Steve Trinkle. That video has now gone viral and has been distributed first by @SageOps, and then picked up by Libs of Tik Tok.
In the video, the mom confronts Ruolo and Trinkle with what she found out about the test given to her son. The video is from 2022, but has only recently surfaced.
“Any kid can see this. It’s got the best penis pumps its got the best sex dolls. Heavy petting, groping,” says Undercover Mom.
Trinkle: I’m very sorry. This is never anything I ever wanted anyone exposed to.
Mom-”Who wants to know my son’s proclivity to certain sex is. Birth control. herpes home tests”
The several parts series from @SageOps, (https://twitter.com/SageOps_/status/1743382843944812610) ,a former Director of undercover operations for Project Veritas, includes several videos and a detailed summary of what was uncovered in the videos, and the unanswered questions.
LCBMS Science Teacher, Steve Trinkle, admitted to assigning students in his class to take an online personality test. The test included standard questions in which students were asked to categorize their own behaviors and strengths.
But it also included sexual questions, about a 11 or 12 years old “Romantic Relationships,”including The Best Sx Dolls, The Best Pnis Pumps, The Best Pnis Extenders, The Best Sx Toys, etc.
After being confronted with what was available for any student to read online, the district blocked the site completely.
Trinkle said that he had given the personality test to his students in previous school years but that the romantic relationships were not included and that the romantic relationships were only given to the 2022-23 class.
But @SageOps reports that YouTube videos related to the test were online from 2017. Many of the YouTube video links posted concerning this incident have been removed.
The more well known, and controversial website LibsofTikTok picked up the @SageOps story (https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1743338587112767639). “Parents, do you know what materials your kids have access to at school and on their school devices,” writes LibsofTikTok.
The Lakeland School District issued a statement that included “that material harmful to minors was shared with students.” Mr. Trinkle’s explanation is that the test had changed and that he had no idea about the change.
Principal Ruolo said, “that went up prior to us meeting (with Tinkle). We will take that down and put something that is age appropriate.
Mom-“What about every other kid that saw this? Parents don’t know their kids saw this?”
Principal-“As parents are bringing their concerns to us, we are addressing them.
Mom-“I think you owe the students and parents the ability to address what they may or may not have seen. What happened to the results? Was he using them for his own personal use?
Principal-”This is one particular teacher who has given out this test in past years The teacher has apologized. He’s taking responsibility and saying I should have reviewed it. We never had another parent or student bring it up.
@SageOps asks How Many Students -How Many Years?
Because there is no investigation underway, the only way that a determination can be made is if students come forward.
After the principal refused to notify all of the student who had a class with Tinkle, the Mom said, “I’m going to have to take this higher.” And now millions of people have watched the video on social media.
