Maybe Cory Bernaert, Robert Thollander, Nicolette Solomon and other gay Florida teachers need to Learn To Code?

Washington Examiner: Florida teacher upset he can't share gay experiences with kindergartners.

A kindergarten teacher in Florida spoke out against the state's Parental Rights in Education Act Tuesday, stating how upset he is he won't be able to share the experiences of his and his partner's lives with his students.

"It truly makes me feel like I am not trusted as a professional. I know my kindergarten standards through and through, and nowhere in our curriculum does it have anything about teaching sexual orientation or sexual identity," Cory Bernaert said while speaking with MSNBC. "I am afraid for my colleagues, myself, and my students."

Educators need to discuss their home lives with students to build meaningful and productive relationships, he argued. 

"I'm afraid." Afraid of what? Specifics, please. "I'm afraid" is now the new default statement for Liberals who feel their personal behavior overrides everything and everyone else.

NBC News (Archived): 'I cannot teach in Florida': LGBTQ educators fear fallout from new school law.

Last month, a group of parents in Orlando, Florida, demanded “consequences” against sixth grade science teacher Robert Thollander. His crime? Thollander acknowledged his marriage at school.

“He married a man. This alone is not an issue. Sharing the details … with all his 6th grade students is the issue,” the parents wrote in a letter sent to their children’s school board, which was shared with NBC News. “It was not appropriate. Many of these students felt very uncomfortable with the conversations and shared this with their families.”

...the incident prompted Thollander to make this school year his last after 11 years of working in Florida as a teacher.

Nicolette Solomon, 28, taught fourth grade in Miami-Dade County for more than four years. As HB 1557 passed through the Legislature, she quit. Solomon, a lesbian, said that after months of having taught virtually through the coronavirus pandemic, the law was “the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

Good. QUIT! Teachers are replaceable. There are many teachers whose goal and desire is to do their jobs without injecting their personal lives into a classroom discussion with children.

I'll be fair here; I wouldn't want children hearing about the personal, sexual lives of heterosexual teachers either.

Cory, Robert and Nicolette and other teachers who feel they're being oppressed by the Florida law should quit their jobs and Learn to Code.
