That's probably the most ignorant comment I've ever read on face book. This old lady or guy professor what soever said that gays should be banned teaching in elementary. I don't care how smart he is, this was plain out wrong and ignorant.
Well, I had gay teachers back in the elementary, two of them as a matter of fact, but I grew up straight regardless.
I can't believe this is 2019. I guess were heading back to the dark ages, i mean it's bad enough some still thinks the world is still flat.
Few rotten apples doesn't give you the right to judge all of them and it's not fair.

Hello @JustBhem You never get bored when it comes to them. As for the female teachers I only remember them because they set up their own schools.

It will take time for the world to consider gays as normal human beings

True - that is the price to pay for free speech - and yah, I guess in that sense it is better to know one's true colors. But still, it makes me upset to hear it

Hello @amadeo Well, Just like you he's an old person but a conservative and single. It's a shame having a christian / catholic professor having those comments.

Hello @rakski the professor must have a personal reason why he wanted it. I know from experience not all of them are like that.

Hello @rakski Such comments are just immature for some one who had so many degrees. But i think his age has shown his flaws. Not to mention he's a hard core conservative.

@Letranknight2015 I've been discriminated against based on race and gender. But I've NEVER had a gay or lesbian teacher be in any way inappropriate with me.

Hello @iAmCris23 He hasn't deactivated his FB account which was a miracle somehow because he should have been getting hammered there by trolls.

Hi @Letranknight2015 I must say that he is brave for not deactivating his account, somehow he is not the only one who is facing this dark ages of criticism by other homophobes.

@Letranknight2015 I hope that he will be continued to work and shows the other that being gay has nothing to do with the job he choose to do.
Being gay is a proud way of being true to yourself, karma is on the way to people who think and treat poorly to their own brother and sister.

Hello @kixsh101 I'm sure some of them did specially if he said it on social media. I don't know but he looked like an old woman to me.

It's very hard to live in that kind of society. They hated when they are being discriminated but they are the ones who are doing it in the first place.

Hello @cherriefic I don't know if this person was discriminated or not. But I think every country has it's own ignorant people no matter how educated they are.

Are you sure their tongue was not in their cheek? I can't see how someone that silly could get a job at a College or University. Some of by best teachers in high school, college and graduate school were gay or lesbian. As was our elementary school librarian (great guy and great librarian).

Hello @TheHorse I had two teachers and I never thought of them different. I saw one of them, and he looked immortal because he didn't looked old to me
. In my experience they were good teachers and this old man professor had no clue what he was talking about.

@TheHorse I don't know him, i don't want to judge since i just recently knew this professor. But I think it's his age that's getting to him.

@Letranknight2015 I wonder why he'd say something like that. He must have had gay colleagues over the years. They're just as fun to be around as straight colleagues.

Hello @mrki444 Specially when they grow old, I'd wish he would talk to the gay and lesbians more before he made the comment.
