  • Teacher Who Says He Will Not Respect Transgender Students' Pronouns Placed on Leave

    Why is it that, so often, religious faith appears to go hand in hand with the most appalling ignorance and intolerance towards the human beings God supposedly created?

    The anger ought to be directed at the Almighty, for making everyone different, and some differences more threatening than others.

        I get so sick and tired of these fools. Is he entitled to his opinion and beliefs? Absolutely. But you have to pick your damn battles. No one is forcing him to become transgendered or even condone what others choose to do. It never seems to occur to these types hey I will simply bite the bullet on this one and let it slide and instead devote my energies to feeding and clothing the homeless. And if God is all powerful let him handle it. He surely doesn't need your help.

          You'd think that anyone who is perfectly happy in their own skin would be eternally grateful, and feel sorry for all those less fortunate. And if they can't feel sympathy, all they need to do is mind their own sodding business.

          Love,

            Not only does the "teacher" hold idiotic views, he is too idiotic to even try and mask these views for the sake of his job.

              A judge is supposed to rule shortly as to whether the teacher can be reinstated. A rally was held in support of the teacher. The case is getting a lot of attention here in the Washington, D.C. area. I will report on the judge's decision when it becomes known.

                The teacher has been reinstated and a trial is to be scheduled.

                  Surely the students have, then, the right to address him as "Mrs. Cross".

                    First off, you'd have to establish if "Cross" is married, and if so, does "Cross" wish to known by Mrs or Ms, if any patriarchal prefix.

                    Secondly, I'd look at whether the name Cross is they're legal name, an informal name by which they're commonly known or whether they're being deliberately deceptive. And whether they'd ever murdered a prostitute and claimed to discover the body. I doubt the last point though, at least I'd hope so, but it is America.

                        Are we really obligated to ascertain how Mrs. Cross sees herself, or how she would prefer to be addressed? She herself, I do believe, would strongly argue that the preferences and belief system of the speaker should take precedence over those of the spoken-of.

                          You see, this is why Communism works. Everyone's "comrade" and the world's a better place. Just ask any North Koreans, you'll not hear a bad word said about it.

                            I'm not sure about communism or comrade particularly - but why do we need gender specific titles and pronouns? We don't. Just change the language and that part of the problem is solved.

                              I like the language how it is. I’d have no issue calling someone ‘he’ or ‘she’ but I wouldn’t want to be told that I had to call someone zu or some such made up word.
