so, I came out to a class of 11th graders today
Things I didn’t intend to do when I woke up: the above.
Long story short, a discussion of homosexuality in The Perks of Being a Wallflower (the teacher’s agenda was essentially: “I am going to get the If-You-Are-A-Homophobe-I-Will-Educate-Your-Sorry-Ass conversation out of the way so we can discuss the book like rational people, I will not tolerate any of that shit in this classroom.”) Frau S is a BAMF ally, who knew?
The conversation, mostly respectful (some of the kids just plain weren’t paying attention but, eh, it was 5th hour on a Friday and I expect nothing less) and, well, here’s how it went.
hehe :) ilu, Em!
