LOL! "Mom! He said it first!" I'm sorry he's an adult, he doesn't need to entertain that. And calling a student, a child trash? You never need to be a parent. The teacher did not deserve that mess but as a professional and adult, no need to stoop down to that level. |
My child has told me that this student regularly calls this teacher "fag" in class -- that kid should have been expelled by now. |
The teacher didn't call the student the word, he denied being the slur that the student called him. Very very different situation. Sure in ideal circumstances I think the teacher would have said "n-word" instead of the whole word, but honestly the teacher acted with remarkable restraint otherwise. It was like the student was trying to entrap him. |
So it sounds like the kid has been an ongoing problem from middle and now high school. He should have been expelled in middle school or sent to a disciplinary school the least. Think of all the teachers and students who have had to deal with this sh*t. |
I feel sorry for the teacher. I hope he finds a better school to go to this fall. |
Wanna bet a non-black student who called a black teacher an n-word wouldn't be back in that class? |
Oh wow, that's just awful. I feel for this teacher who showed remarkable restraint and professionalism. I have an LGBTQIA+ child attending 9th grade at JR in the Fall. Will they be in a safe environment? |
My kid is attending JR in the Fall and I really hope this teacher stays. The schools owes him a plan to protect and support him in the future. |
| What about the rights of the teachers and other students the misbehaving and violent kids traumatizes on a daily basis? |
Yep. I think you are right. |
+1. But calling some a fag repeatedly, nothing happens. The PP who said certain marginalized people don’t get the same treatment is correct. It’s not right or fair. |
This poor teacher. I cannot believe he has had to put up with this shit. |
I'm sorry, but it really doesn't sound like it! Maybe when Pete Cahall was principal and came out to the kids, but not now. Biggest mistake ever when DCPS fired home "because he couldn't close the achievement gap" |
While agree, the teacher is a fully formed adult. How about the other gay kids in the class who hear this regularly? If one of them breaks down and commits an act of violence will all of you social justice warriors who are so adamant that kids not be suspended or face real consequences be willing to own your culpability in creating an environment where someone felt regularly attacked and dehumanized and acted out accordingly? |
You attempt at an hypothetical is misguided. The teacher did not “break down.” |
