Take it away, Bob Grisham, Lauderdale County High School teacher and football coach:
But do "queers" believe in you, teacher?
Just wait until he's disciplined and the National Organization For Marriage rushes to make him their next "anti-defamation" victim. They did, after all, once do that with a teacher who said gays make him vomit.

I grew up around people like that moron.
That's what they do.

(10,597 posts)We all need to pass this audio file and the Sups contact info around all over the place to get this bigot out of that school and take his teaching license on his way out the door too.
He needs to go fishing with his bigot buddies and never be allowed near a school again.

(6,891 posts)I was under the impression that the minimum requirement for teaching in an Alabama school was the ability to walk upright. Then I learned that this knuckle walker was also the football coach and remembered that Alabama football coaches are exempt from the upright requirement.

(8,086 posts)"the ability to walk upright" is in fact NOT a job requirement, not for teachers anyway, not since Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act were passed.
In fact, the nation's first disability-based anti-job discrimination federal lawsuit was brought (in the early 1970s, I think) by a woman who was told she couldn't work as a public school teacher--despite having all the credentials and great references--entirely because she couldn't walk upright and thus had to use a wheelchair.
I know what you mean -- "walk upright" as opposed to "knuckle dragger" -- and I'm sure that discriminating against people with disabilities was the furthest thing from your mind -- but your comment made me wince, so I felt compelled to post.
That said, obviously the only thing this jerk is qualified to teach, and this only by example, is how to get fired for being a bigoted asshole.

thucythucy
(8,086 posts)and you didn't offend me. And I know it's a figure of speech.
I just felt compelled really to point out what I pointed out. Hard to explain, but spending so much of my time in the disability community, phrases like that are always jarring to me.
Best wishes.

(6,891 posts)Earlier this week I had a conversation with my son. He is away at college. Apparently, the use of racial and ethnic slurs is making a resurgence, disguised as humor. I told him to avoid such speech, as it contributes nothing useful to conversation and can hurt people. I will follow my own advise. Thanks.

ROGERSVILLE, Ala. (AP) School officials in Lauderdale County say they'll likely hold a special session before Feb. 14 to determine whether disciplinary action is needed for a high school football coach who made disparaging comments about homosexuals and Michelle Obama during class.
Lauderdale County High School football coach Bob Grisham told the Times Daily of Florence (http://bit.ly/U9D7dZ) he misspoke during a debate-style discussion that an unidentified student recorded on Jan. 28. The newspaper reports Grisham has not been back in class this week.
Advocates in the LGBT community have called for Grisham's firing or resignation.

(53,661 posts)Okay, gratuitous picture. These guys, like Rush, are cowards who couldn't stand up a woman like Michelle in person, they'd run.
This routine has been used for years to denigrate women of color. The guy is embarrassing his school. He should be shunned by his students.
I'm sure this clown listens to Rush:
