Hebron High School in Texas placed a teacher on leave after he gained attention for wearing dresses at school, including a pink dress on Valentine’s Day.
The teacher, Rachmad Tjachyadi, has been teaching for around 20 years and has a history of wearing dresses at school events.
“It is important to me to keep you informed of situations that impact our campus, even if your student is not directly involved. You may have seen a video circulating on social media expressing concerns with the way a staff member was dressed at school yesterday,” principal Amy Boughton wrote.

“We are aware of the video, and the staff member has been placed on administrative leave while the district reviews the situation, which is standard procedure. It would be natural for our families to have questions about this situation, but because this is a personnel matter currently under review, there is no additional information the district can share.”
The school district is reviewing the situation, and the teacher has been placed on administrative leave.
“The staff member has been placed on administrative leave while the district reviews the situation, which is standard procedure. Because this is a personnel matter currently under review, there is no additional information the district can share,” a school spokesperson stated.
Tjachyadi aims to be an LGBTQ+ role model while teaching science, as highlighted by The Forward/Slash Project.
“Rachmad Tjachyadi is a high school science teacher in the Dallas area for almost 20 years. The choir director at his school asked him to dress up as one of the Supremes (along with three other female teachers) for an open mic night, and the rest is history. Rachmad would utilize dress-up days at his schools to show off his feminine side in the education settings. His goal as an educator is not only to educate the students in science but also to be an out LGBTQ+ role model in a professional setting,” the Forward/Slash Project wrote.
He has discussed his sexual identity in videos and expressed his enjoyment of feminine things.
“As a gay man, I want the opportunity to be out. My mom always said that America turned me gay. I was like ‘Mom, America did not turn me gay. America gave me the courage to come out.’ I have always been gay,” Tjachyadi said.
“I do really enjoy feminine things,” he said.
