Am I being judgemental if I don't want openly homosexual people teaching my child in school?

Question

What if I don't want an 'open' thief doing my taxes....is that being judgemental?

Or just smart?

Answer 1

How can you compare one's sexual orientation with being a criminal? You're insane. You aren't fit to be a parent.

Openly homosexual teacher? Hello--the class isn't about sex or sexual orientation. Teachers are paid to teach science and math, not sex with men. Do you have the same hangups about openly heterosexual teachers?

Answer 2

being a thief is also illegal..are you implying that being homosexual is equal to committing a crime? If so you shouldn't exactly be deemed fit to raise a child either, the worst thing a parent can do is pass on their own racist, sexist views. maybe you should step back from the situation and see it as it really is, you have a male teacher, teaching your child as he is 30 other students...chances are he is not speaking about his sex life or pressuring your child or any other child to become homosexual. At most the children may meet his partner which wouldn't be any more traumatic than a heterosexual teacher doing the same...of course unless you teach your child from day one that homosexuals are evil, then that would be your own fault, it is your job as a parent to prepare your child for the world. Yes gay people happen to share this world also...so do black people and many other lifestyles. How do you expect your child to cope when they are taught these things are not something to be accepted and loved as differences?

Answer 3

If you feel that someones sexual orientation will corrupt your child then I hate to say it but you are not smart by any means. The truth is I would rather have a teacher that is a homosexual teaching my child then having a teacher that is a pedophile. The fact that you consider homosexually as bad shows how narrow minded you are. The reality is that a persons sexual orientation does not affect their competency to do their job and the blatant fact that you believe such dribble only amplifies how little you actually understand of the teaching profession let alone human sexuality. I suggest you receive sexual education on all aspects before you make such a statement as it is defamation of character and you are only subjecting your own arrogance on a community but also blindly insulting 83% of society to date.

Answer 4

Even though i am not against homosexuality, i do however believe that you are not being judgemental. When a child is around an adult, especially one as crucial as a teacher they begin to pick up character traits from those people. And while i am not saying they would pick up being gay, they have that possibility. But they could also pick up other traits that you may find good. So before you set your self to judge that part of him, check his qualities as a role model as well. you would be surprised at how many things you may have over looked.

Answer 5

There is no comparison between a thief and an open homosexual. What you want in a teacher is a person well prepared and educated. A person that is a teacher because he or she loves teaching, kids, sharing knowledge and information. The values and moral are to be teach at home and you should teach your kids tolerance and acceptance.
Yes you are judgmental.

Answer 6

Why are you comparing someones sexual orientation to the actions of a criminal, i.e. a thief?

I don't know what grade your child is in, however, teachers usually do not bring up their sex lives in the class room. They stick to the academic curriculum. Nor are teachers allowed to discuss sex with your child with out express consent from the parents. [That is why the send home permission slips before teaching sex education.]

Homosexuality is not contagious, so I doubt you have anything to worry about.

Answer 7

In this world that God has made all men are worthy of his love.My roomate is gay he is one of the best waiters I know.He is gentle and kind and true.People think that Gay is all sex it is not.They go through life like anyone else.Intelligent,giving there choice of love is different does not make them the man on the moon.My children love him and they are both boys.He has never made advances toward them He has made them laugh.So in closing open your mind and let God help you.Also a thief cannot be trusted,they are liars too.

Answer 8

Yes, you're being judgmental. You're judging the person's ability to teach based on who they love. The two have nothing to do with each other. If you have a problem with a teacher's personal life, I suggest providing your children with homeschooling. It's the best way for you to fully subject your children to your ideals, which seems to be your main concern.

Answer 9

yes, you are being judgemental. Also, stealing is a crime, homosexuality is not. So you're afraid that your kid will somehow "learn" to be gay from his/her teacher? Aren't you afraid he will learn to be ignorant from you? That's most likely the larger problem here.

Answer 10

you could convince someone to thieve for you,,you couldnt convince them to be gay for you,,,,your childs teacher is what he/she is and whether or not your child has any opinion about it will depend on how you handle it,,children told that gay means someone who likes the same sex think nothing of it until someone else makes it a big deal,,it is not news to them,,it isnt something they should even be bothering about really,,as long as the teacher isnt trying to send the message that straight people are in some way,wrong for how they conduct their relationships,he/she isnt doing anything wrong,,you could end up raising a biggoted adult with misinformed ideas,live and let live until your child comes to you and says something has happened or been said that could harm him or his education,,otherwise,it really is none of anyone,s business.
