Stop denying it

so, what you are saying is that you are a PRO-GROOMER.

And conservatives have been decidedly anti-mask

The mask is disguising homophobia with a fake concern over grooming from LGBTQ parents and teachers.

Can't you read plain English...mask wearing is a Liberal Democrat thing, pro-groomer.

Masks are a liberal thing. Kinda like 'beards' are a gay thing.

That checks out.

When people believe anti-grooming has anything to do with being homophobic.

I like how Liberals enjoy labeling people because they oppose something that they are doing which is totally wrong.

Don't groom kids. Don't teach kids sexual things when they are underage. Leave kids alone. Let kids figure out their own sexuality as they grow up. Stop brainwashing children.

Still waiting for any evidence that kids are being groomed by LGBTQ teachers.

You don’t even read what you cite.

“She said her students asked to let them draw pictures that illustrate their sexual preferences. Some of the students identify as non-binary, bisexual and gay, and drew Pride flags that represented them personally.

After Scott hung their artwork on her classroom door, school staff had her take it down.”

The second is completely inappropriate, and not LGBTQ, and not something LGBTQ people advocate for in the classroom.

The last is just a straight up pedophile and a heterosexual one at that.

Casey Scott, an art teacher at Trafalgar Middle School in Cape Coral, said she was "discussing the topic of sexuality" with her students and told them she was pansexual.

The article requires more context. It’s not always inappropriate to bring it up.

Nothing about that is grooming, either.

"discussing the topic of sexuality" Isn't grooming?

Okay. So then it is okay for straight people to talk about straight things around children or discuss such by that definition?

All she said is she’s married to a man and that she is pan. That’s all I am aware of. Nothing about that makes her predatory toward children. Do you understand that?

One student wrote that they were present in the classroom while Scott was making pride flags but that Scott "does not make anybody do any of that if they don't want to."

Another student wrote that Scott told the class that she was coming out as pansexual and wrote "I didn't really know what it meant until she started getting into detail."

Some students said they felt her coming out was "uncomfortable" and "weird."

Scott also went on to explain how she has a husband and girlfriend. The student said that "I thought that was a little weird because she is telling a class of 6th and 7th graders all that."

A student wrote that Scott told them to follow her on TikTok, where the student later saw a video of Scott coming out as pansexual.

So again, it is fine to talk about sexuality to kids? Ok. Gotcha.

You see the difference here is, sexuality was never brought up in school where I grew up. Dunno much of these Democrat ran places, but the reality was that no teacher went into detail about their personal life, partners, sexual preference, etc. Teachers had one job and that was to teach the subject material of their classroom, there wasn't any other relations beyond that on personal or informative level.

I never heard teacher from K-8 talking about going out with their significant other, dating, or general love life. It somewhat surfaces in High School years, but again there wasn't much into detail. Nor have any teachers talked to anyone about their sexuality from k-12 where I came from.

Why? Probably because it isn't their place and they have common sense to leave that out of the classroom. Looks like a lot has change by todays standards.

Moral of the story. "Don't talk about sexuality, don't discuss the topic. Let kids grow and learn it on their own or parents to teach them." It isn't right for any Sexuality to talk about it or any Gender. Straight, Gay, Bi, Pan, whatever. Leave that topic out of school and leave kids alone. Kids will figure it out, they don't need any influence.

What happened was students prompted the conversation, and were the ones making pride flags in their art and the teacher told them she is pansexual, and offered support for LGBTQ+ students.

If she made students feel uncomfortable then it might have been a poor choice to tell the entire class, but obviously the queer kids still support her and are upset about her firing.

When I was in middle school there was a gay-straight alliance club at school. Even in elementary school my teachers talked to us about their lives and romantic partners, but obviously not to an inappropriate length. I don’t see a problem with this. It made class better for me because it wasn’t just constant instruction and my teachers were real people just like us.

The main thing here is this teacher was not grooming any students. Sexuality isn’t always inappropriate in schools, because it can be a part of instruction, including history, and some students need support because of their LGBTQ identities, and they might not be accepted at home by their families.
