Sorry, I just have to ask, what adult human being has opinions about high schools such that they’ll start a post with “I’m no fan of Langley…”? Like what normal adult believes/says something like that?
I’ll go out on a limb and say one familiar with the school.

This is what happens when parents get confused and think they control what happens in schools and seek to micromanage curricular and individual classrooms. The good teachers had enough and quit. So, we brought it on ourselves in recent years. We get what we deserve, and we deserved this.

Have you seen the IA pay scale? https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/fy25-cis.pdf
Not many people with options want to work for $25-30k per year. If they work summer school too, maybe an extra $2 or $3k. That's not a living wage even for a single person with roommates. If you want good people to take these jobs, pay them better wages.
Minimum wage in Maryland right over the river is $15/hr. A full time worker at literally any job in MD makes the same money.
+1. And many IAs don’t get benefits. It’s a sh&tty job. If you want better people working in schools, pay them better, offer benefits, and treat them as professionals/train them as such. We currently don’t do any of that in our school system and therefore wind up with a lot of bad staff members in schools.

I don’t think the title is odd. If he was masturbating in a classroom at off hours like a Sunday morning, that would be a huge problem, but the fact that it was during school hours where students were there seems like a detail worth mentioning. Don’t you agree?

This teacher was openly homosexual and proudly displayed pride flags in his room.
In and of itself this would not be an issue. Men like this do more damage to gay rights than anything any bigot or prejudice person could ever do.
Any evidence?
If so that’s really disturbing. This guy needs to keep his sex life out of the classroom in more ways than one.
