Report: Suspended Student Had Harassed Teacher
By Winston Gieseke


While a Fort Worth, Texas, student — who was briefly suspended by his German teacher for voicing antigay views in class — continues to protest the punishment he received, a local LGBT news source has printed an account alleging that the student and his friends had been harassing the teacher in question for months because they perceived him to be gay.

According to the Dallas Voice, Marvin Vann and members of the group LGBTQ S.A.V.E.S., which strives to protect local LGBT students and teachers from harassment, met with the teacher Friday and heard his side of the incident.

Vann writes that the teacher, who has “a long and distinguished service record,” is currently under investigation by school administrators for “having the temerity to write a disciplinary referral against Dakota Ary, a student whom reports publicly harassed him in class” because Ary and friends perceived him to be gay.

1. And now for the rest of the story.

The first time this was mentioned in the local newspaper the poor kid was the victim of a terrible teacher. I am still waiting for the truth to be published but I am not holding my breath.

2. Thanks for posting this.

I saw this story being pimped by FAUX and knew there must be more to it.

Sounds like the little bigot was doing more than just expressing his opinion, he was HARASSING the teacher.

No cookie for him.
