Stupid Educator News #45268

From Fox News: An honors student in Fort Worth, Texas, was sent to the principal’s office and punished for telling a classmate that he believes homosexuality is wrong.
Holly Pope said she was “absolutely stunned” when she received a telephone call from an assistant principal at Western Hills High School informing her that her son, Dakota Ary, had been sent to in-school suspension.
So, apparently giving an honest opinion which a teacher disagrees with is cause for suspension according to the teacher and administration.
But this is the worst:
Krause called the incident “mind blowing” and said the teacher had frequently brought homosexuality into ninth grade classroom discussions.
“There has been a history with this teacher in the class regarding homosexual topics,” Krause said. “The teacher had posted a picture of two men kissing on a wall that offended some of the students.”
Krause said the picture was posted on the teacher’s “world wall.”
“He told the students this is happening all over the world and you need to accept the fact that homosexuality is just part of our culture now,” Krause said.

First, what does homosexuality have to do with a German class.
Second, why is there a poster of two men kissing in this crap teacher's classroom? I and every teacher I know of would never think of putting a poster of a man and a woman kissing in our classrooms, so why this idiot teacher think this was ok?
I would hope that the school district would look very closely into this teacher's actions and if the allegations are true- picture of two men kissing and talking about homosexuality in a German class, then this idiot needs to be removed from the classroom. And if the administration knew about this, then they need to be removed.
Idiots like this teacher and the administration give educators around the country a bad name. People don't here of the good things we do, we just hear about idiots like this teacher and administration.
