And non-gays don't?

Disgusting. Society has an overriding interest and duty to keep sexual deviants away from kids.

What kid doesn't - at one time or another - feel isolated in junior high & high school. I know I did.

When I was growing up, I had a grade school teacher that was probably homosexual. However, he and his significant other went on about their business, and didn't bother anyone. No one cared, and his sexuality was never discussed. Nor did it ever become and agenda to be pursued. Kind of like heterosexuality was not ever a topic of discussion. I might add, I grew up in a pretty conservative seacoast fishing town in the sixties.

We are one messed up society. Sixth grade kids shouldn't be asking teachers this and teachers should be telling sixth grade lids this.

Didn't the NYC public school system open a special school just for fairies?

That's a great anecdote, but it's nothing more.

In related news pedofiles and other perverts also feel isolated.

Too bad no teachers or staff went out of their way to protect me from a marauding band of Puerto Rican "students" when I was in jr high in the early '80s.

If I'd been gay AND white, instead of just white, maybe I'd not have been terrorized.

The AJC is full of this very overt propaganda today. One cover story explains that the economy is in dire straits (job growth way below expectations, wages falling, etc.) and promises tales of the unemployed in Sunday's edition. Below that is a piece on how the evil and corrupt Republicans are trying to end the very promising career of the distinguished African-American lady--a mainstream moderate and a faithful Christian--who stands to be Chief Justice of our state Supreme Court. And they wonder why circulation is falling!

I suppose my point it, who cares who is sleeping with whom? Why even bring it up? I'm tired of this garbage being crammed down my throat, and don't want to hear it. This teacher's sexuality should not be an issue. The issue should be whether or not she can teach. If she starts pushing her sexuality (which is what appears to be going on) then she needs to be fired. I mean, what if a heterosexual male started talking about his orientation in front of a bunch of grade school kids? How long before he is branded a pedophile? The proper response to a question about sexual orientation is "none of your business" or "that is not a question asked by polite people."

This teacher's sexuality should not be an issue.

That's why she should hide it and not try to make others accept deviant behavior. But that's not what homosexuality is about. It's not an analog to normal behavior--it's a flat-out perversion that requires constant explicit sexual references and activities that normal people don't engage in.

More troublesome, though, is the fact that people who are known to engage in shameful behavior like that should be kept away from kids. LIke you say, if they make it known, then out!

I would feel strange too being a freak against the natural order of things.

The gays have always been teaching, just staying in closet as singles, pretending not to want marriage. I knew my HS had a lesbian PE teacher, but no proof. WE just kept our distance from her, and that was in late 60's.

The sixth-grade boy with a crush on silver-haired Mona Mendoza

The 12 year old in the throws of puberty has a crush on a lesbian (likely to be butch) who is old enough to have a head of silver hair (not just some specs)?

Does this pass the smell test?
