Teacher Fired After Shaming 5th Grader for Having Two Dads

[Archivist]

Two wrongs do not make a right.

Two men getting married is wrong. No matter what comes next that foundational fact does not change.

And embarrassing a young boy in class is wrong. If. You have read the thread you know that I have said that If the teacher was going to say anything it should have been to the parents in a parent teacher conference.

These men adopted this little boy and gave him a family. A great many Christians wouldn’t see anything wrong with this boy having two dads rather than spending his life in foster care.

Birds of a feather flock together.

And this means what?

It may be wrong, 2 men getting married etc but, no way should that teacher have embarrassed that kid in class. Totally unacceptable.

I used to have a maths teacher, who I didn't like much. I thought he was arrogant.

I also suspect he had a bit to say behind my back, but I don't have proof.

I remember him more or less boasting in class about "disciplining" one young bloke who lived with his father in a shack with a dirt floor, somewhere in NSW, about how he really put him in his place.

Whereas what he needed was encouragement. I have a suspicion the young bloke committed suicide.

Some teachers can do a lot of damage.

Hello Quartermaine. The bible does not list correction as abuse. But I think it was the authorities that put the child inside the quandary he found himself in. Masquerading as an angel of light the enemy often tries to conceal malevolence up inside an apparently laudable wrapping. But from your point of view all is well, a Christian lady has lost her livelihood and others have been deterred from speaking out against the current zeitgeist. God Bless

Lest we allow the actions of this one person to taint our view of teachers in general, it probably should be noted the person in question was a substitute teacher according to the article. I'm unfamiliar with Utah licensing regulations, but in my state one does not have to have a 4-year degree to get a substitute license, and educational studies in teaching are not required. Two years of college in any field of study gets you a license. So perhaps a non-professional was acting unprofessionally in this instance?

Yes, publicly embarrassing a child is abuse. This teacher deserved to be shown the door.

What about the officials that placed him in that particular household?

They found a home for a boy who had been in foster care for some time. Nothing wrong with what they did. He loved his two dads and they loved him.

telling a child his family isn't a family and he should be ashamed for being happy is abuse no matter how many bibles you are holding.

Kids go to school to be educated and that is what happened. This confused boy thinks the family unit does not consist of a mother and so the teacher corrected that. Teacher also said two men living together is sin and it is. It is a shameful thing to be a homosexual and so this lady just called them out. If the boy is mentally unstable it's probably because he has two reprobates as guardians rather than a father and a mother. It is a horrible situation for a child to be in with the homosexuals and the teacher does not want to share responsibility by pretending it is a normal situation, it is an abnormal situation.

I hope you are not a school principal. Showing this teacher the door was the best thing this principal could have done.

Hello Archivist.

Many Christians would not agree that this child having two dads is a “devilish lie.”

And? If 'Christians' are advocating something that is against the clear teachings of the bible and the apostles maybe they should take a long hard look at themselves.

This child had been in foster care for years before these men adopted him.

I'm sad for the child being in foster care and for his hard life and I'm sad he was dropped into a no-win situation. The officials who dropped him into this situation have a lot to answer for.

In any event this was a public school.

Truth is truth in every school. God Bless

Which is why I have said many times in this thread that the teacher should have spoken with the parents in a parent teacher conference, not embarrassed the child in front of his classmates. Fortunately the other students saw how evil this teacher was and went to the principal.

I'm sad for the child being in foster care and for his hard life and I'm sad he was dropped into a no-win situation. The officials who dropped him into this situation have a lot to answer for.

Actually it sounds like he is in a good situation now. He has two parents who love him.

Truth is truth in every school.

Yes, and the truth here was that this woman had no business being a teacher.

Well Archivist. We're diametrically opposed but we've both had our say. Peace

They don't impose their values on others.

Hello. What you don't seem to realise is that this teacher was not imposing her values onto others. She was explaining God's values, the values of the creator to the creation. There's no debate about the subject matter, you're condoning the promotion of S I N .

So if the teacher was Muslim, you wouldn’t have a problem with her telling the class that they should never eat pork. After all, she would just be telling the class her beliefs.

It was not her place to do so.
