Reply to comment by MosskeepForest in Transgender teacher dismissed for sharing inappropriate TikTok videos with Maine middle school students by jaypr4576
>When the story was actually "a teacher told some students what her tiktok handle was".
Given the content of the account, the handle should not have been shared.
In today's environment, a teacher's social media presence needs to be squeaky clean. If it is not, then why is the teacher sharing the handle?
I agree with the person who posits that this is less about gender identity than it is about appropriate behavior.

Yea, todays environment of people trying to turn everything into some type of moral panic. It's always some fucked up fundamental christian viewpoint that has us firing teachers because they showed their knees on facebook or something.
That people support this type of fragile "teachers can't be human" mentality is insane.... but explains why our education system is so shit. We have very poorly paid teachers who are told they must always walk on a knives edge of being fired for "being inappropriate".... which leaves very few people willing to put up with all that BS.
And the application of "decency" is always applied to women and minorities. Even just kids knowing a teachers name and finding their facebook page where they posted going to a club is "inappropriate".
How do people keep supporting this or thinking this is healthy or good?

Way to turn my comment on its head.
The issue presented here is not a kid knowing a name and looking for the facebook page; rather, it is (alleged) that the teacher, knowing the contents of their own page, encouraged the students to go visit the page. That is what is inappropriate sharing.

Let's not forget the actual issue is not about the line for what a child can know about their teachers.
The real issue is this is a matter that the school should have taken care of (as they do with tens of thousands of other instances of similar or worse issues regularly) without it becoming some sort of propaganda piece for traitorous republicans.
>The issue presented here is not a kid knowing a name and looking for the facebook page
No, that is EXACTLY THE ISSUE. The teacher shared her handle on a social media site (a handle is your internet name, how people find you).
>knowing the contents of their own page
The content? That they are openly transgender? No, I don't accept the fucking fascists line of thinking that transgender people are "inappropriate for children".
This is what the fucks tried to claim about gay relationships also for the last 40+ years. That seeing a man and man together was "too adult for children". Fuck them and their fascist rhetoric trying to label people existing and engaging in normal behaviour as "inappropriate".
>Way to turn my comment on its head.
It isn't. It is actually where your line of thinking goes (or more accurately, has brought us).
This has actually happened and teachers have been fired for it.
That is where this mentality of "teachers must be pure christians" leads us... to an insane society of misguided "protecting the children" panic.

You can always convince folks of the righteousness of your argument by inserting "traitorous" and "fascists" and other emotionally charged opinion (some of which is unrelated to the issue at hand). It also helps to post patronizing and gratuitous verbiage. Pat yourself on the back.

A certain portion of the population are just evil and will never face the truth of their actions.
That's why conservatives jump from one minority to another drumming up hate and violence.... because they have no sense of morality and just want to create hell on earth.
There is no way to phrase things to make them examine themselves. They are just purely evil creatures that need to be stopped.
How do you think the world stopped the Nazis? It wasn't with a round table discussion....
> by inserting "traitorous" and "fascists" and other emotionally charged opinion
It isn't an opinion. It is a fact. When a random American suddenly turns on their neighbor and begins pointing a finger and screaming "WE HAVE TO KILL THEM TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN!!!"..... that is a traitor turning on their own society.
That is a festering disease that threatens the very fabric of peaceful society if not stopped. They are fascists, again, BY DEFINITION. They use fear of the other to take control of governments and install authoritarian measures victimizing countless people (as republican fascists are doing now across the country, and have been doing my entire life).
These things aren't opinion. It is just a fact of what these people are. A cancer at the heart of our country.... that will cause untold damage (and HAVE caused untold damage) if not stopped.
Again, there is no discussion to be had with them. They are evil hateful rotten creatures that have no sense of decency. Traitors and threats to America itself.

Not sure this question is related to the issue at hand but I am sure you will post a verbose response that will do nothing to tie the two together.

Not seeing that anywhere in the posted article. Nor do I see a similar sentiment in the comments posted in this thread.

I guess you've just decided to start to play stupid? Is that the strategy now?
Suddenly you have forgotten about the last 5 years and the trans panic narrative of grooming and all other bullshit? Culminating in a huge spike in states trying to restrict access to medical care for trans youth and other anti-trans legislation being pushed through?
Yea, play dumb all you want. We all know what you are trying to do. You aren't fooling anyone with this bullshit.

What does the last 5 years have to do with a specific situation involving a substitute teacher at King?
Nada.
But you go on about bullshit...
