Lets say you were my health teacher...
Today in health we are talking about homosexuals. The class is going smoothly…no one has yet to crack a gay joke (a room filled with 17 year old kids). Now The conversation goes into a sub conversation about having to get changed in front of a homosexual….Would you feel weird? Would you enjoy it? etc etc.
Out of the corner of my mind i think of a perfect example for this conversation: We used to have a lesbian gym teacher, and her office was located smack in the middle of the girls locker room…no big deal..so i decide to say this.
“Mrs.P (my health teacher), if you want someones opinion about this..why don’t you just ask the girls how they felt about changing in front of Miss____ (will remain nameless who knows if she fluthers)
Now i dont have ANYTHING against homosexuals, in fact i have a couple of gay friends who i work with that pinch my butt on a regular basis (i would make a fabulous gay man.) so it wasn’t trying to make fun of my gym teacher. I was trying to get a serious opinion from the girls…
Mrs.P than tells me to wait outside of the classroom because talking about her co-worker was not allowed in her classroom. I WAS FURIOUS. Not only was i mad because i felt like i did nothing wrong…i wanted to know the answer to the question. THAT GYM TEACHER DOESN’T EVEN WORK THERE ANYMORE.
After banging my head on the locker for a minute Mrs.P comes out and says.. “What is your problem? What if there was a gay person in there how do you think they would feel?”
I’m a smart ass so i say “They probably would’ve got mad that you kicked me out…that was a very good question i asked…”
i was than sent to the office where i was assigned a saturday detention….3 hours from 8 in the morning to 11 sitting reading…..not being able to sleep…all because my question was misunderstood. Do you think that i was being wrong?
I explained myself to the teacher and the principal after school but they both insisted that i was doing it to make fun of someone…you know stuff like..“Joel you know what you meant and it wasn’t funny…”
I really want to know if that would offend you if you were my health teacher…or just a person in general…and if i do i am sorry…i didn’t mean to…but i am pretty sure i got that part down.
