Lesbian teacher suspended for showing photo of 'future wife' gets $100,000 settlement

This school drama is unpleasant and confusing to the kids, whose parents may teach them what’s right and wrong contrary to this teacher’s professed lifestyle. Per some opinions, it would be better if teachers’ private lives were not shared.

All of this would be moot if educators kept their personal stuff out of the classroom. I never showed pictures of my husband or children to my students.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - That is not what the disagreement was about. And I have lived and went to school in a small town and I have lived and gone to school in the 'big' city. My kindergarten teacher was a distant cousin. Two of the teachers that I had in high school had also taught my mother. And I graduated from Sunset High School in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas.
I have also had school teachers that were also Sunday School teachers, interestingly enough they did not mix what they taught. What was taught in Sunday School WAS NOT taught in the regular classroom.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - I think that Pretty Prairie, Kansas with a population of 680 qualifies. And considering that my one uncle was the mayor, another relative owned the lumber yard (which no longer exist), another relative owned one of the restaurants in town, another the local farm implement business, and another relative founded the town; I am aware.

Lt Col Charlie Brown I agree with you, but in defense of the teacher, it was a "Get to Know Your Teacher" presentation. She was doing just that, and got suspended for it. The school district was wrong and now has to pay, as they should. As I tell folks sometimes, if you don't want to know the answer, don't ask.

SSG (Join to see) - I agree with you. My daughter's voice coach, employed through her Middle School, made some derogatory comment about Trump. That was not what I paid her to do. I fired her immediately and filed a complaint with the school.
