A Twitter troll received an important lesson in tolerance (and basic grammar) when he posed a hypothetical question to his 1,268 followers about whether they would be OK with their child being taught by, wait for it, a gay teacher.

Aspiring hip hop artist and Bill Cosby supporter @Naj_Mullah tweeted last week:
As a straight man, how do u [sic] feel about your child having a homosexual teacher!? Who their [sic] around for 8 hours of the day!
Fortunately, Twitter user @haitreason, himself a “homosexual teacher” from Texas, noticed the tweet and crafted the perfect response:
If a gay teacher teaches my child the difference between they’re, their, and there, I’m good.
Before the original tweet was deleted, the response was retweeted and liked over 33,000 times.

Unfortunately, however, Naj_Mullah doesn’t seem to have learned his lesson. After being schooled by the school teacher, he went on the defensive, spewing off a number of unapologetically bitchy tweets:

Because grammar.

This same teacher ought to try his hand at some other all too common errors on social media and comments sections:
• to, too, two
• ” ‘ve ” instead of “of” (would’ve, could’ve **NOT** would of, could of you imbecile)
• woMAN versus woMEN WomAn = singular WomEN = >1

@Glücklich:
How about spelling “lose” with two “o’s”?
That happens so often that when I first started seeing it I actually thought it might be some official, alternate cyber-spelling of the word.

In the last tweet Naj also says:
“There’s 4-5 people that can actually hurt my feelings. I can guarantee your not 1 of them. Your wasting your time.”
“There’s 4-5 people…” should be “There’re 4-5 people…”
“…your not 1 of them.” should be “…you’re not one of them.”
“Your wasting…” should be “You’re wasting…”
“…your time.” Yea! He findally got one right!

I like the Grinder profiles that mention they are “discrete”.

That *POP-SPLAT* was me blowing my brains out. And this is a nice place, too.

How is it that no one online understands that none of these types of articles that claim to “school” or “shut down” trolls actually do so? Rather, by making an entire article on it you are giving the troll an even bigger laugh and right now he’s taking screencaps and posting links on whatever forum or chan he hangs out on and laughing about how he got you to write an entire article on him? Over and over I see this. This kind of publicity is exactly what the trolls want and you just keep giving it to them.

We “can discuss” it. That is the typical line a right wing douche uses before he goes off an denigrates others. We even see it on the this site from people like Alistair.
Sometimes I make some grammar errors on here, but Naj has some awful grammar.
I would ask this guy what does he want to discuss? The fact that all Americans are entitled to equality? I hate it when people say they want to “discuss” something, when they really want to sling shit.

while i cant spell for nothing. and my handwriting is atrocious. i know. how to write in cursive. i can balance my checkbook. i can read a paper book. i know what H2o is without the help of google. i know that detroit was one of the stops on the underground railroad. and that many slaves went to canda from there. or that I-75 goes from michigan to florida. i learned diffrent things through diffrent sources over the years. but i had fat and thin, male and female. maybe even a gay teacher. but they were passionate about thier career’s and passed along a thirst for knowledge. of course i believe those are important things.

Eh, don’t sweat it. I fall down on when to start a new paragraph.

Brilliant lol
However I fully admit I mess up with the too , to thing at times.
It’s not about grammar overall it’s more about the general ignorance and foolishness of the one espousing such divisive and ignorant mentalities about gay teachers.
What must they TEACH THEIR children ? It boggles the mind when it comes to individuals such as this one it really does.

Ditto that!
