Recently we heard about a Chicago teacher using the term "Black Fag" in his daily lesson plan.
Now we hear about a Australian "volunteer teacher" telling a 11th grade student “Faggot Kid! You don’t know what real marriage is!”
The student, Jimmy Y from Glen Waverly Secondary College had been putting up posters all week for the upcoming Equal Love Rally, a gay protest for equal rights in Victoria on November 28. According to Jimmy the posters kept getting ripped down. The culprit was finally caught in the school library, and found to be a teacher. When confronted about posters, the teacher (whose real name is ironically Mr Right) turned around and shouted at the student, “Faggot Kid! You don’t know what real marriage is!”
The hard working folks at Same Same spoke with the school principal. Mr Schiller, in part, said “Mr Right is an older gentleman with values coloured by a very different time and perhaps religious beliefs too. Not that it makes his actions excusable in any way… it’s just a context. What happened clearly shouldn’t have happened. It’s unacceptable and inappropriate."
Mr Right has since resigned from his volunteer role, saying that he was not going to return to the school.
