Teacher suspended after showing photo of her 'future wife' is suing school district
NBC "News" ^ | May 9, 2018 | by Brooke Sopelsa

Art teacher Stacy Bailey was twice selected Teacher of the Year at her Texas elementary school, where she started in 2008, but after she showed her students a photo of her and her then-girlfriend, she was placed on administrative leave. Now, Bailey is suing the district for discrimination.

“Stacy is filing this lawsuit and taking this action in hopes of pushing Mansfield [Independent School District] out of the shadows of discrimination and into the sunshine of equal rights,” her attorney, Jason Smith, told NBC 5 in Dallas.

Bailey’s lawsuit was filed Tuesday in federal court and lists the Mansfield Independent School District and two administrators as defendants. The suit claims the defendants unfairly discriminated against Bailey because of her sexual orientation.

“Defendants placed plaintiff on administrative leave, improperly publicly discussed her employment status publicly, refused to return her to her previous position in an elementary school, transferred her to a secondary school and determined she was not appropriate to teach elementary students all became of her sexual orientation and status as a lesbian,” the lawsuit states.

Last August, Bailey showed her students at Charlotte Anderson Elementary in Arlington, Texas, photos of her parents, her best friends and her “future wife” during a “Get to Know Your Teacher” presentation. Later that week, according to Bailey’s lawsuit, a parent complained to the school board and the superintendent that Bailey was promoting a “homosexual agenda” in the classroom.

The complaint eventually led to Bailey being placed on administrative in early September and then being asked for her resignation in late October, which she refused to give, according to the lawsuit. Despite requesting to return to Charlotte Anderson, Bailey was reassigned to a high school in the district this month.

I accept these people’s right to exist and to earn a living, etc., but I reserve the right to consider them abnormal. Sorry. Sue me.

It used to be “The love that dare not speak its name”.

Now it’s-as another FR poster said-”The love that won’t leave normal people alone”.

It doesn’t have a good sense of aesthetics so it shouldn’t be an art teacher.

I think of it as "The love that won't be happy until it hears you say 'thank you' for bending you over and crawling right up your rear end."
