Nice to see that the union which supposedly represents me is so interested in encouraging literacy, improving reading scores on standardized tests, rewarding teachers for academic success in the classroom, and providing the best research in learning and teaching so I can do a better job.
Instead of those goals, my union is telling me that I have spit in the face of the majority of my parents and my community by adopting a narrow ideological viewpoint about personal sexual behavior that best belongs behind closed doors in the privacy of someone's home. I would say the same thing about any sexual behavior or activity, by the way. My plate is full just trying to teach reading and writing.
Seeing news stories such as this one tell me why the public thinks most teachers are liberal dilettantes. Speaking as someone inside the monkey house, however, a lot of us are going back to our real jobs and ignore the union, let alone waste valuable time focusing on accepting homosexuality.

Thank you for doing your job, Sir.
You may be in violation of your union rules for it, and law are being written as we speak to correct your narrowmindedness.
