A senior boy and he couldn’t even win-took fifth and third. Still wrong.
My husband left teaching last year after an unpleasant situation caused by his very liberal female principal. Now he is facing the revocation of his teaching license over the “disparaging remarks “ he made about girls...he admitted to stating that when it comes to athletic abilities, boys and girls are different—girls aren’t able to compete against boys. He has no plans to teach again, but would like to keep his license in case they ever crack down on homeschooling families. To do so he must take a “re-education class” at a cost of $550. Heavy sigh. Doesn’t seem worth it, but we are not looking forward to the headline of our small town paper blaring that the state revoked his teaching license due to “inappropriate “, yet unspecified, behavior. All this over comments about athletics that are obviously true yet offensive to those in denial.
“Now he is facing the revocation of his teaching license over the “disparaging remarks “ he made about girls...he admitted to stating that when it comes to athletic abilities, boys and girls are different—girls aren’t able to compete against boys.”
Geez, the truth is seen as disparaging? How awful.
But I’m sure he’s happy to be out of the liberal-mecca. I taught for all of one semester and then was done.
Selling our souls isn’t worth any amount of money.
Sorry to hear.
Unfortunately, you don't have to be Madame Olga with the crystal ball to see this coming everywhere. I wrote this prediction in an earlier thread, but it bears repeating: eventually the only place for a religious or conservative person (read: sane) to work, other than from the home, will be either a religious-based institution (e.g. hospital, school) or a business owned by a religious person.
Our sympathies. Our prayers.
“....he admitted to stating that when it comes to athletic abilities, boys and girls are different—girls aren’t able to compete against boys.”
He should have taken her to court. Rock solid case, on his part.
Lawrence Summer would understand.
The world has turned upside down.

Yes, wrong. He knocked a real girl out of a third or fifth finish.
