If the teacher prides itself on being non binary and brags about how many children they guided into questioning their gender they need to go.
I don't disagree. This happens, and when it does, it should be dealt with.
But this is not really the issue. It's the issue conservatives want to cling to, rather like liberals wanted to cling to the few cops beating down black men. And look what happened.
The issue NO ONE wants to deal with is this: we have long expected schools to be basically orphanages, but we pay teachers dirt wages to tend to, care for, raise, nurture, and also, educate our very disadvantaged children. Then, when teachers say, hey, no one can do all this, society says WHAT? You can't do all that for a whopping 50K a year? You only work nine months!! (not even true).
But teachers are talking back with their feet. They're walking away. As much as I love my job--and I do--I can no longer blame them. We must pick one. We can either be orphanages and Day Treatment Centers for ALL of children's mental health conditions, or we can be schools.
We can't be both.
Certainly not for 50K a year.
