Australia: Teacher calls student a "Faggot Kid"

Recently we heard about a Chicago teacher using the term "Black Fag" in his daily lesson plan. Now we hear about a Australian "volunteer teacher" telling a 11th grade student “Faggot Kid! You don’t know what real marriage is!” The student, Jimmy Y from Glen Waverly Secondary College had been putting up posters all week for the upcoming Equal Love Rally, a gay protest for equal rights in Victoria on November 28. According to Jimmy the posters kept getting ripped down. The culprit was finally caught in the school library, and found to be a teacher. When confronted about posters, the teacher (whose real name is ironically Mr Right) turned around and shouted at the student, “Faggot Kid!

Chicago Teacher's Hate Speech Challenged by Student

Louisiana hiring teachers from a 3rd world country

Recent news speaks about the Louisiana Public School System hiring teachers from the Philippines. According to the American Federation of Teachers, Louisiana ranked 39th in the nation for its average teacher salary (2006-2007). Comparatively, US school administration employees are compensated quite handsomely. Something’s wrong with this picture! For a country which claims to place high importance on education it seems counter productive to hire teachers from a 3rd world country. Since Mr. Obama has stated he will penalize companies who take US jobs out of country one must wonder if he will do anything about Louisiana’s actions. From a comment board regarding this subject: I teach high school in Louisiana and I make — hope you are sitting down— $26,500 per year! www.GayTalkRadio.org a 24/7 LGBTQIA Independent Internet Radio Station.
