The Teacher Story

 Yesterday AM, I read through this story.  The way it goes....a fair number of LGTBQ teachers....in Florida and Texas....are resigning, and heading toward California/NY in the summer.

It's an NBC story, and to be honest, on my BS-index....it's ranking near an '8'....meaning it lacks a lot of facts.

How many are resigning?  Unknown....it might be a couple dozen...several hundred....couple thousand.

Reason/logic?  Well....they say the agenda laws are forcing them to restrict their LGTBQ chatter in classrooms. They aren't 'free'.

So I've sat upon the idea, and come to four observations:

1.  These are mostly people who graduated out of college in the past five years.  These are not forty-and-over teachers.  

2.  I don't think they were teaching much of their daily requirements, and their instruction time probably meant a quarter of their day based on indoctrination....instead of normal mandates.

3.  If you were looking for new jobs in California/NY over the summer for school situations?  You are freaking screwed.  If this were 3,000 in numbers....you just won't find school districts that desperate....unless they had violence issues in the schools.  Frankly, taking your LGTBQ agenda from a quiet Texas town where you taught 3rd-grade kids....to gang-infested Bakersfield and 10th-grade kids....will be a huge drop in personal happiness.  I also think if you showed up in upstate NY....you might be shocked how conservative they are there.....compared to Texas.  

4.  Finally, if your move results in no teacher job....what exactly is plan 'B'?  Remember....you have a college debt situation brewing and if you can't find a happy school situation where you lecture people on LGTBQ stuff....then what?  

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think in twelve months....the LGTBQ teachers who left....will come back and ask if they can have their old job back (the answer will be no), and there will be a news media story of these poor LGTBQ unemployed folks.....people without a profession....existing.
