Post: Gay El. Ed. student teacher
Posted by dave on 5/28/05
On my third day at school, I was dismissed from my field
for being gay, and also barred from the building. I am not
sure who decided to "out" me, and why. I am not
an “flaming homosexual”, nor am I a “hard core jock
type”. I am just an average nice guy that wants to be a
teacher. Previously all of my placements have been successful, and
I've received some letters of praise. I really did not want to work in that part of town
because of the underlining prejudice towards gays, but I
took the job anyway. On my second day at the school, the
staff and students questioned me about my personal life. I
didn't give them any real information about myself, and I
didn't lie either. I now believe that someone at my
college sent her a fax that contained information about my
personal life. My only proof is that I remember the format
of the letter that I saw on her desk, and that letter is
not among the correspondence from my college. I am not
sure if I need to talk to a lawyer or the dean, but I need
to save my career.
