Respectfully, I disagree. And that’s coming from someone who did the Catholic school route

When COVID ends and they let adult volunteers back in schools... go spend some time volunteering at your local high school. Maybe you might learn something.

From the article:
So it was ok last year but not ok this year. New principal, new rules, I guess.
How is being gay a political or sectarian issue?
I assume this principal would take down a 10 commandments poster with the quickness, right?
Here's the deal. No one is being hurt by these stickers being up. No one is being targeted by these stickers being up.
This is f'n stupid. If you don't want to be gay, then don't go talk to the teacher about being gay.
quote:
Students said the stickers were put up on many teachers' doors last year and this school year.
But last week, students said they began noticing the stickers were being removed from the classroom doors by the administration.
The school has a new principal this year.

In a statement, Irving ISD said district policy does not allow teachers to use classrooms to "transmit personal beliefs regarding political or sectarian issues."
"To ensure that all students feel safe regardless of background or identity, the district has developed guidelines to ensure that posters, banners, and stickers placed in classrooms, hallways, or offices are curriculum-driven and neutral in viewpoint," the district said in the statement.
The district did not comment on the status of the teachers involved but said in part that district policy prohibits teachers from using classrooms 'to transmit personal beliefs' on certain issues.
Specifically political or sectarian issues.

Sorry not sorry. You can do/be whatever you want
to. But trying to force everyone around you to accept it when you know they won’t is gonna lead to problems. If you can’t handle the problems, don’t force the issue.
Wait till you’re an adult and have some options. Then you can come out and be whatever you think you are.

Gay kids still struggle through school a lot more than non-gay kids.
To say it's all the same "now" is completely incorrect.
I'm not masquerading as a teacher. I'm acting like someone who isn't a psychopath.

Why is there any club in high school?
Are you trying to compare a "where I like to stick my dick sex club" to something like, say, the band? I wonder sometimes if you're just trolling because of the obvious differences between the two. No one gives a shite where you or anyone else puts their dick. Stop trying to make this a thing.

What does that even mean... forcing everyone around you to accept it.
Sure... there a few gay teen activists. Very few. Most gay teens just want to be left TF alone. They aren't "forcing" the QB to dump the cheerleader girlfriend and ask the gay math nerd on a date.
Acceptance doesn't mean you like it or even support it. It simply means you aren't a prick to the kid because of it.
It's not hard. Don't be a prick. That's it.
What's the old saying... if you don't like gay marriage... don't get a gay marriage...

I have no problem with putting things up to indicate you as a teacher are available to help.
Again, it's polarizing. Teachers who don't have the sticker are perceived as being bigots. Your "inclusionary" sticker sets that teacher apart from other teachers, and vice versa.
It should be made abundantly clear to all students that there are trained counselors in the counseling center that are available anytime.

Right. Kids learn that other kids, but mostly adults, are pricks.
And the thought that maybe life could be better... nah... can't have that.

Yeah, let's pretend they give a shite about the cause instead of getting out of class.
I remember supporting a teacher’s strike when it meant not having class and then getting pissed when district brought in fill ins and made students report to school after 1 day or 2.

I think the "hatred" has declined to where it is largely on par with any other characteristic that draws some bullying. Being fat, being ugly, being dorky, etc. Gone are the days where it's 99% of the school against you, IMO.
Based on what my high school kids tell me, I don't think it's declined enough to where we should dust off our hands and move on from it. I also don't think we should elevate anti-gay bullying over other bullying, but if what my kids tell me is accurate, it's the predominant form of bullying at their school.

You know, 20 years ago, maybe this was a thing. But nowadays, the only place that gays are being persecuted is in places like the middle east. In America, NO ONE CARES. That's why this is so stupid.

There are tons of nut job teachers in private schools too. I hate to burst your bubble

More than fat kids? Than offbeat kids? Etc.? Based on what metric?
And I note you have nothing to say about the concept that dramatically emphasizing the difference - "SAFE SPACE HERE" - is counterproductive. It implies "you're not safe out there" despite almost all evidence to the contrary.

Sure, we're the crazy ones for suggesting that the modern emphasis on class, race, sexuality distinctions that conveniently coincides with spiking rates of mental illness diagnoses and steady increases in suicide rates might be a bad thing.
frick us right?

The exact opposite can also be said. There should be no special anything for these people.

Does that really matter?
Doesn't matter how big the "class" is... 2 kids committing suicide is awful.
It is awful, but 2 out of a mega graduating class at a 6A Texas high school that has 1,000 kids per grade level and 3 kids out of a 35 person class is starkly different no?
