Offering support to a student who approached him asking for it should certainly not be controversial either.
Neither should a student who asks a teacher about Jesus. But it is.

BTW, the Gay Pride movement is very political and is a religion to some.

No one I know dealt with personal issues with a teacher, it was a counselor. That's their job.
How long has it been since you were in high school? I graduated in 1972 and teachers dealt with personal issues back then.

I'm not the one advocating to 'run them out' for giving someone a bracelet.

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.

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.

Great. I guess that matches his crushed brain quite well, then.

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.

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"?
