> Noone ever sued <
I taught in a large urban school district. Very woke, and very sensitive to student feelings.
Any behavior like you described would have meant an instant dismissal of the employee, and probably also an arrest by the school police. Then comes the lawsuit.
And more is the pity. The behavior you described is a good thing. When students are not kept within boundaries, soon there will be no boundaries.
This was back in the 1970’s and 80’s- in Maine- Teachers didn’t mess around- but eventually the lawsuits started- and now it’s all woke too-
