Totally inappropriate. That teacher can speak with his personal friends that way if he wishes to OUTSIDE of the school forum during his own private conversations with them, but that should NEVER occur in a school setting.
Wow, this is so inappropriate. Parents need to call the school Superintendent and demand action. This is what makes the 2020 NJ Learning Standards such a problem; teachers think it gives them the ok to discuss their sexual identity with children. We need boundaries to protect our children from groomers like this guy.
This teacher is obviously trying to make himself “a trusted adult” by having these weird conversations with teens to seem cool and approachable. Bizarre. Since when do teachers talk about these topics in school let alone with their students when in English class?!? Because I can almost guarantee that at least 1/2 these kids don’t even understand the basics language concepts nor read at grade level! Raise the bar of conversation higher and most kids will rise to meet you were you are at.
When did teachers start talking like the kids do, because I was halfway through this video before I realized the teacher was the one talking. I can't believe that clown is paid
he’s the worst teacher. i had him sophomore year, he’s an inconsiderate person. no one likes him and i don’t know how he hasn’t been fired yet, this has been going on for years…
I also find it important to mention that his conversations and teaching methods were brought up to the school principals and councillors and nothing was done.
He might have been disciplined and written up, but the public or his colleagues aren’t privy to his personnel file nor should they be. Let’s hope the administration does their job and creates a case for “Just Cause” so he can be terminated.
As a student myself he made completely inappropriate mid class talking about things that were completely irrelevant to anything we learned and talked about military,politics during my lessons
Come on now. We’re not in Florida we’re the party in charge fights for our kids. And the parents gather, protest and talk into live news cameras.
NJ votes for the politicians that are attacking all of the young minds in organized number in all of the schools everywhere in our great country.
Here’s an idea. MAKE A CHANGE! Speak up and be heard! Don’t talk about going to Shawnee High and demanding he be terminated, what day and time should we be there?
Make the calls! Put him on social media anywhere you can think of! Call the papers! Call the school! Call the Mayor and the Governor!
It’s terrifying that while us parents are leaving our children in classrooms while at work hoping that one of our kids don’t end up with a brainwashing idiot like this guy who has no desire to teach and is only there to plant his political views into young developing minds. That one conversation is embedded into that entire classrooms heads forever.
Other students who posted said “They were in his class” “He’s doing this all the time”
I mean seriously! No wonder so many parents are making the decision to homeschool.
Teach needs to go and find another carrier where he will never be permitted to brainwash children or have conversations with them without a parent present.
Political predators like him are everywhere and many are hiding behind classroom walls knowing that the boss knows what he does and what he’s doing and since he still has his job without consequences why would he stoop?
Parents did call, to the superintendent and the BOE. The mayor and the Governor do not control the schools. if you would like to organize a protest, I would be happy to advertise it.
Not a single soul asking for context on this post. I was in class when this discussion occurred and can confirm that he was well within his right to talk about this. We were talking about the book "The Help" and how discriminatory things were in old Mississippi, and of course the discussion of other minorities pooped up. What he said isn't even incorrect, politicians are outed every year being openly anti-gay. Brain dead people in these comment sections cant comprehend that we are in the 10th grade and can handle more sensitive subjects like this. We are not children. We are young adults and should be treated as such.
Yeah there are many powerful wealthy elites that end up in sex scandals. If you haven’t learned yet, sex parties are part of that culture and normal hetero sex becomes quite boring for some people and group sex becomes normalized. Hence Epstein. This shit becomes normal in that crowd and the fact that they are trying to normalize it in schools is sick and needs to be stopped! Sexualizing teens is not making them adults. It’s called grooming, Making sexual culture normal in the adult /child relationship, which makes young vulnerable teens easy targets for people with bad intentions. Teens don’t know any better. I hope you realize this soon.
Tell me how this is sexualizing anyone in that class? He is talking about very anti-gay persons typically being gay themselves, and is shown sometimes in politicians. Nothing he said brought up group sex, nor was he trying to normalize it, it was a topic in the book that THE SCHOOL makes us read.
As a public school English teacher of various AP courses (Literature, Rhetoric, Creative Writing, etc.), a current writer for College Board material for the SAT and ACT, and a former instructor for years at various colleges in the area (Rutgers, CCP, Thomas Jefferson), I can say that his words are WILDLY inappropriate. I would be deeply offended if he taught my child as senior, let alone in a 10th grade class. This isn't appropriate in the context of teaching relevant college-level skills or college-entrance skills to high school students. This isn't appropriate in a professional adult environment, let alone in an environment with minors. And this isn't appropriate in a discussion of The Help. This teacher should be fired. All of the sexual harassment trainings I've ever done (which are many because I've worked in leadership, curriculum development, and teaching) indicate that sexual content like this introduced to minors is a form of sexual harassment. This is predatory behavior, which involves making impressionable 16-17 year olds feel they are older than they are and gravitate toward an adult who has "wisdom" on life and sex. How embarrassing for Shawnee. Do better school board! He's still on the roster three years later. Do you know what we need for first and second year college students? Not unsupported digressions and rants about a teacher's personal feelings regarding sexuality but development of real academic skills, which are sorely lacking. These skills include critical thought on the part of the students, not indoctrination by the teacher of his feelings.

This teacher shouldn't be around kids

Shawnee is filled with incompetent teachers that need to be fired and probably put on a watch list 😍 Can’t wait to graduate
he’s the worst teacher. i had him sophomore year, he’s an inconsiderate person. no one likes him and i don’t know how he hasn’t been fired yet, this has been going on for years…
Its very simple. If you cross sexual boundaries with my children, I will beat you within an inch of your life. How's that for clear
I also find it important to mention that his conversations and teaching methods were brought up to the school principals and councillors and nothing was done.
He might have been disciplined and written up, but the public or his colleagues aren’t privy to his personnel file nor should they be. Let’s hope the administration does their job and creates a case for “Just Cause” so he can be terminated.
I had this teacher last year safe to say this was a daily thing. He would talk about all kind of stuff like Epstein, politics,and ext.
As a student myself he made completely inappropriate mid class talking about things that were completely irrelevant to anything we learned and talked about military,politics during my lessons
This teacher needs a therapist. Our children are not his outlet for venting.

keep in mind, this has been going on for years and the parents have complained.
Omg! SO inappropriate!!! What town was this?
Medford!

Honestly, this is the problem JJ. You have been assigned a book to read by the SCHOOL and cannot see the school has an agenda in assigning it.
Omg , absolutely inappropriate
