Anne: They learned the behavior from parents.
An Iowa teacher, known as Anne, raises an interesting point.
The KTIV news website has a comment from a former South O’Brien school district teacher, who left a comment about Kenneth Weishuhn’s suicide. She made the statement that “They learned the behavior from the parents.” I’ve often thought that was true. What do you think?
| As
someone who used to live and teach in the South O'Brien "community", I
can't say I'm surprised. In my time with the school district, I saw
bullying happen every day. As far as the bullies are concerned, the
apple doesn't fall far from the tree. They learned the behavior from the parents.
I can recall one circumstance where a GROUP of parents was criticizing a
student at South O'Brien for being gay. I was absolutely blown away
that a group of parents would treat a child like this. It is unfortunate
that this young man felt there was no other way out. Maybe now, the
school administration will realize they have a very real problem. I
agree, not everyone who lives in Paullina/Primghar is a bad person, but
there are plenty of bad apples in that community. Is it any wonder why
I'm no longer there? Anne |
straight talk in a queer world.
