I just heard one of the parents say most male teachers are gay. Is that true?

To my knowledge, the U. S. Department of Education, nor any of the 50 State Education Departments, have conducted an in-depth study/survey of the number of gay or lesbian teachers in the United States.
If you are brave enough, the next time you hear that most male teachers are gay, ask the person who is speaking if they can prove their comments with statistics.
A teacher's sexual or religious proclivity does not indicate their teaching prowess.

This must be one of the stpuidest questions I've seen here. Why on earth would that be true. They are no more likely to be gay than a female teacher or a male nurse.
Maybe the male home ec teacher is gay??

I hope young men don't believe that people think they are gay if they teach. With the world the way it is today, MANY children to not have a positive male role model in their lives. We NEED more male teachers, especially on the elementary level.

I'm pretty sure that some of the male teachers may be gay. However, what does that have to do with the subject they are teaching. As long as the teacher is not molesting my children, who they sleep with is none of my (or your) business.

only a truly ignorant person would say something like that . . a person's occupation has nothing to do with their sexual orientation . . I guess they would also say that most female athletes are gay . . . that's the problem with this world . . . there is no "rule" that says a man can teach but only if he's gay . .

I don't think so... I have a good friend who is a teacher and believe me HE IS NOT GAY. That is just so stupid, even to think about.

Ask the parent to support his statement with facts.
