Abstract
This study investigates whether gender bias exists in the journalism high school classroom towards female educators. Prior research has shown that both male and female students treat their female teachers differently than male educators simply because of being women. To explore this idea in high school journalism education, 10 female educators across the state of South Dakota were interviewed to find their views on gender bias in the high school classroom. It was confirmed from the interviews that gender bias does actually exist in the high school journalism classroom and that many female educators in the state have dealt with this issue in some way.
