Utah substitute teacher fired after she allegedly told class that 'homosexuality is wrong' during a Thanksgiving exercise about gratitude.
A substitute teacher from Utah was fired after she allegedly told a classroom full of fifth-graders that"homosexuality is wrong" during a Thanksgiving exercise about gratitude.
"When our son Daniel answered the substitute teacher's question, 'What are you thankful for?' with, 'I'm thankful for finally being adopted by my two dads,' the teacher went on to sharing her own views on homosexuality and that it’s wrong," Louis van Amstel, one of the boy's dads, said on Twitter.
"You can imagine why that set us off and we are not letting this go," van Amstel said in a video posted online on Nov. 22."I am so proud of Daniel's school. Not only did they let go of the teacher, but they said this woman is never going to teach in this school ever again." “We are concerned about any reports of inappropriate conduct and take these matters very seriously," a spokesperson for the agency said."We conducted an investigation and made the decision to end the employee’s relationship with Kelly Services."
