And even in his "soul crushed" whining, he says his biggest sadness is not having access to the kids. Guarantee he has a history of LGBTexpialadocious proselytizing, and finally took it far enough that people he had been annoying for years finally had an excuse to end his annoyance.
No job is guaranteed, and when you annoy your boss, they are very un-guaranteed.
Unfortunately, some public sector ones are pretty close if the union is strong enough and it is in a jurisdiction that is friendly to that.
How long has it been since you were in high school? I graduated in 1972 and teachers dealt with personal issues back then.
Yeah my school had a single guidance counselor whose full time job consisted of giving each student about 5 minutes of career/college guidance. Not someone you would go to because you didn't know them.

Late 80s. No one I knew was buddy with a teacher. They sure didn't know us personally and we didn't know them personally. I can see that happening in a very small town but not in a big city. A teacher getting personal with a kid shoots up red flags now.

Yep. I've been teaching for almost thirty years (university level) and in all that time, the students have known absolutely NOTHING of my personal life, unless they found out about it on their own outside of class (I keep a very low profile in ALL my personal interactions, so I've never even run into a student outside of class besides once). But as far as in class, they've never known of my politics, my interests, my hobbies, my marital status, etc. The only thing they have gotten from me is mathematics. Reason being, THAT is what I'm hired to teach. It's not a social club.
And as far as me knowing about the student's personal lives, the few I've interacted with on that level over the years were sent to those in the university who are hired to address such issues. Personal lives and and academic classrooms do not mix.
I'm not the one advocating to 'run them out' for giving someone a bracelet.
You seriously think "run them out" is a call for violence?
What if this teacher had passed out MAGA bracelets instead, and lectured on the virtues of Trump (and how much better the country was under his leadership as opposed to the current administraton). Would you be fine with it, or would you want to "run them out"?
