A substitute teacher has been fired after telling a fifth-grader who is soon to be adopted by two dads that being gay is “a sin.
”
There are several scenarios in which a child could have more than one mom or more than one dad.
But at this stage in her young life, our little Charleigh-girl hasn’t had much exposure to the backstories behind non-traditional families — and for that matter doesn’t know the meaning of the term or of any of the baggage that can be associated with it.
The woman, who was filling in for a teacher at Deerfield Elementary School in Utah County, asked students what they were thankful for as they approached the Thanksgiving holiday.
Food, pets, and time off from school were some of the answers given, but one student seemed to provoke the teacher when he gave thanks for something more meaningful.
“I’m thankful that I’m finally going to be adopted by my two dads,” the student told the class.
The teacher then began berating him, and replied to the 11-year-old boy, “Why on Earth would you be happy about that?” and said, “That’s nothing to be thankful for.”
She also told the class “homosexuality is wrong” and “two men living together is a sin.”
The boy who was berated kept his silence, but three girls from the same class reported to the officials. The teacher was then escorted out of school while still agreeing with her point.
One of the boy’s fathers, Louis van Amstel (who you may recognize as a former dancer on ‘Dancing with the Stars’) told that the encounter was discouraging.
“It’s absolutely ridiculous and horrible what she did,” he said.
“We were livid. It’s 2019 and this is a public school.”
He further explained that he was very pleased with how officials handled this situation and he is proud of Daniel’s school.
According to school officials, there was a situation involving a substitute and they contacted Kelly Services, the staffing agency that provided that substitute teacher.
The school administration was very disappointed with the staffing agency and they decided to end their contract with Kelly Services.
