what eighth grader struggling to accept his or herself and finding out that they may have a sexuality different from their peers wouldn’t want their science teacher telling them that they’re a sinner?

Let me tell you folks a story. There was a time when I really wanted to teach physics. I got turned down. It hurt. I still don’t know what caused it. I had an interview where I clearly showed my knowledge of the interaction of viscous fluids, I showed that I understood the chemical nature of the glue that covered the planet and kept us from flying of into space, I carefully explained how the glue was the only possible explanation for why we weren’t all thrown into space by the outward force of the planet spinning, it all seemed like it was going well! Maybe you guys can just take a quick look at my syllabus and tell me where I might have gone wrong. This is from my first semester....
