Yeah the teachers really need to do something about it. I've considered counting how many times I hear the word gay used in a negative way at school, but I always end up losing track.

I end up losing track too. In my English class I think I got up to about fifty before I stopped.

Sadly fifty does not surprise me.

I remember in 9th grade my friend and I were talking about someone who was bisexual. Now of course we weren't using that term in a derogatory way at all. This was a friend we were talking about. Well our teacher heard us use the word bisexual and freaked out. Yet in this same class people would use the word gay (in a negative way) all the time and our teacher would never say anything. Yet here my friend and I were actually using the term correctly and it upset our teacher.

Back in February my friend and I were walking in the hall and we said vagina. We were talking about V-Day, so the word was in complete context to our conversation. But this teacher was behind us, and he stopped us and started asking us all these questions. Which was really weird. He started saying that he hadn't heard that word in a long time and it was a word he didn't like to hear on a regual basis.

Wow. Sometimes the teachers are no better than the students. At the beginning of this school year a lot of my teachers said how they wouldn't tolerate hearing the word gay used negatively or any other form of sexual discrmination. But I have yet to see any teacher do anything about it. And they'd have to be deaf to not hear it being used every single day.

I know. My teachers did that too. My English teacher tried to use the "vocabulary of today's teens" (as she put it) and told us she didn't want to read any gay papers we were going to write. First of all, not all teenagers talk like that. And secondly, teachers are supposed to set an example, and she didn't do a very good job of that.

I can't believe a teacher would actually do that. Whether or not students talk like that gives her no right to use sexual discrimination. And you're right.. not all students talk like that, and the ones who do definitely shouldn't have it be reinforced by a teacher saying that. And out of all teachers to do that.. it's an English teacher! That just amazes me.
