Did you even read the article? The gay teacher was all over the place,there was an effeminate kid in the class room,there was bullying,he remembered being bullied because he was black and a homo.
Sounds to me like he jumped at the opportunity to spread the gay agenda to a bunch of third graders...whatever the truth might be.
Feel free to quote from the article- nothing about an effeminate kid- nor that the teacher read the book because he is gay. You just made it up.
That decision in April ignited a public outcry from some parents in the rural hamlet of Efland, North Carolina, resulting in Currie's resignation this week from a job he loved. The assistant principal who loaned Currie her copy of "King & King" has also resigned, and outraged parents are pressuring administrators at the Orange County Schools to ban the book.
"When I read the story, the reaction of parents didn't come into my mind," Currie, 25, said Tuesday. "In that moment, it just seemed natural to me to read the book and have a conversation about treating people with respect. My focus then was on the child, and helping the child."
Currie knows firsthand what it is like to be bullied. Growing up gay and black in a small town in the eastern part of the state, his memories of middle school are of being a frequent target for teasing and slurs.
As a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Currie entered a teaching fellows program with the intent of helping young people. He was first introduced to "King & King" during an education course that included strategies for introducing topics involving diversity in the classroom.
After graduation, Currie became a teacher at nearby Efland-Cheeks Elementary School. Though only about 15 miles west of Chapel Hill, a college town considered among the most liberal enclaves in the state, Efland is a socially conservative community of about 750 people where churches line the highway through town.
Within hours after reading the book to his students, Currie said he got a call from the school's principal requesting a meeting in her office for the following morning. The parents of three children soon filed written complaints to a school review committee, which twice upheld the use of the book after heated public meetings. But the school's principal also issued a new directive that teachers must submit an advance list of all books they intend to read with students to their parents.
"King & King" has been a subject of controversy before. In 2006, the parents of a Massachusetts second-grader sued after the book was read in their child's class. A federal judge later ruled against them, saying the rights of parents to exercise their religious and moral beliefs are not violated when children are exposed to differing ideas in public school.
In his two years at Efland elementary, Currie said his sexual orientation had never been an issue. His co-workers, and some parents, knew he lives with his male partner.
But at the committee meetings to discuss Currie's use of the book, some parents whose children were not in his class made their attacks personal, telling him he would die young and spend eternity in hell. He also began receiving hate-filled letters and emails, including one copied to other teachers at the school, described homosexuality as a "birth defect" while accusing Currie of trying to "indoctrinate" children through "psycho-emotional rape."
Was it the spelling that threw you off. Just so you know "effeminate" and "feminine" mean the same thing.
"Currie said that he was inspired to teach the little kids about two men “hooking up” because a boy in his class acted a little "feminine".
Until you learn some reading comprehension I'm going to ignore you.
Note they didn't use quotation marks about Currie saying this.
Since I am used to Conservatives posting BS, I went to the article that Vigilante posted- which is this article
thepcmdgazette.com ^ | july 8, 2015
Then- in that article- I went to the actual news article that they got their information from.
The PCM Gazette lied.
They lied about the teacher saying the boy acted a little 'feminine' and they lied when they said the book was about 'hooking up'
The PCM Gazette posted the link to the article that they got their info from- and then lied about what the article said.
And you never bothered to check.
Because you believe any Conservative crap thrown your way.
So he did read a homo fairy tale for no other reason than he's a homo himself?
Make up your fucking mind..
So you are just making up crap again.
You're the one who keeps changing the story.
Fact of he matter is he shouldnt have been reading homo fairy tales to em period.
