These 'heroes' know it's inappropriate, yet they continue to do it.

What is so hard about teaching math, science, etc., without feeling a need to push your agenda on students?

A South Carolina teacher was fired after she handed out an unapproved article on LGBTQ+ identity to her 10th-grade students, according to the district.

Spartanburg School District 6 officials learned about the incident at Dorman High School on Friday and addressed the issue with the Language Arts teacher.

The teacher told school officials that it was her personal decision to distribute the article to her students and facilitate a class discussion, according to Fox Carolina.

A language arts teacher facilitating a discussion about male homosexuality ?
That's not ELA ...sorry.

And she did it after attending a meeting that said questionable material must be approved by administration.

Here's the article she distributed:

INTERNATIONAL BEAR BROTHERHOOD: WHAT IT IS AND WHY IT’S IMPORTANT

The name is a play on the slang term "bear," which refers to non-heterosexual men who are generally larger and have a fair amount of body/facial hair.
..
In today’s beautiful world, the LGBTQ+ community is so large that it can be quite easy for someone to feel overwhelmed or intimidated when they first join. There are so many different kinds of people from all walks of life who are part of our community, that it is only natural to seek out people who either look or act similar to you or have dealt with similar experiences in their life to help bring a sense of belonging.
..
If you want to get inspired to find your own path to the International Bear Brotherhood, dive into some of our coming out stories to see how other people have celebrated their identity.

Bears are about as friendly, loving, and accepting as they come, so feel free to unleash your inner bear if that’s what you’re called to do!

Democrats always tell us that stuff like this doesn’t happen in schools, and that this is just a made-up Republican “culture war” issue. What gives?

Why can`t teachers just teach what they are supposed to teach....they should be fired on the spot. Parents should be tired of this crap going on in schools.

Not only do they continue to tell us that this never happens.

When it does happen, instead of denouncing the event, they deflect and try to push the fault to some "Right Wing Conspiracy". Telling the people that they should just ignore it and stop focusing on these things.

They were fired. This happened in SC so there was little debate.

That is quite literally the dumbest damn thing I've ever read (not your post, but the article she distributed). It has no basis in fact whatsoever. The teacher deserved to be fired and is in dire need of the assistance of a mental health professional.

The 4 D's of the leftist playbook 101. Deny, deflect, dodge, and then when the crap is no longer undeniable, they just disappear from the conversation.
