Outraged Mom is scandalized because her son’s teacher told her middle school students that she was a lesbian after vicious rumors started flying about her personal life. As far as I can tell, the teacher didn’t go into any sort of details about her sex life or anything that would be even remotely out of bounds for a straight person to talk about, but Outraged Mom of course is forced to ask—isn’t putting a picture of your lesbian lover on your desk at school pretty much the same thing as talking sexual positions with 12-year-olds?

It’s perfectly okay to announce an engagement, to talk about your husband, or to announce a pregnancy. But mention that you’re a lady who dates ladies…WHY DON’T YOU JUST SHOW THE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS YOUR SEX TAPES, YOU IRRESPONSIBLE CREEP WITH NO JUDGMENT?!

I wish teachers were treated more like normal people. Teachers may act like machines or robots, but really, teachers are human, too.
