[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a gay middle school drama teacher (cliche I know) and the thing that is pushing me out of the field isn't the pandemic or the kids' post-quarantine behavioral problems/mental health crisis, but the idea that I might get accused of "grooming" a student. The attacks on teachers across the board are so demoralizing but the worsening levels of overt homophobia and transphobia on the right are just so terrifying and exhausting. I love my students. I love teaching. I really don't know if I can stick it out if this is the new normal. [/quote] Dont sense this at any of the schools around here, gay pride and trans flags are flown inside and out, May pride month is robust, progressive social studies curricula, and everyone loves the arts. I suppose if adolescents are privately coming up to you for personal advice, do what any teacher would and refer to guidance counselor or their parents. [/quote]
