Teacher’s Gay Talk Causes Scandal

garrison.jpg
Some Wisconsin parents are bent out of shape after a health teacher told her students she’s bent:

Some parents of middle school students in Eau Claire are complaining about a teacher’s decision to talk about her sexual orientation during health classes.

School district officials confirm South Middle School teacher Stephanie Rowe told her five health classes last week that she is gay.

Parent Karen Peikert says Rowe is an outstanding teacher, but shouldn’t be discussing her sexual preference with her students. Peikert says Rowe should stick to the curriculum.

God forbid kids get some real education. Don’t these people have lives?!

I am offended by teachers who want to be addressed as Mrs. Clearly, they are disclosing their sexual orientation. Some of them even wear wedding rings. Why are they always bringing sex into everything? I think they are horny for middle schoolers.

I thought all health teachers were lesbians! The health teacher in my high school was. She was never specifically out, but everyone pretty much knew she was. This was before gay-straight alliances in high schools, but many of the queer kids used to hang out in her classroom during her free period.
