One never knows when the homosexual is about!
Ken Simon wanted to give his students a lesson about how attitudes towards cultural subjects change over time. After showing a 50-year-old PSA on homosexuality, the 70-year-old teacher is in
hot water:
Ken Simon was removed from the classroom and placed on administrative leave after he showed the 10-minute video that dealt with homosexuality. He is facing disciplinary action.
"Him being suspended over a situation of him actually teaching about our history as a country is absolutely asinine," former student Victoria Long said.
The video was made in 1959. It warns students to avoid strangers "because they might be homosexual."
Simon said he used the video to show just how much attitudes about homosexuality have changed over the years.
Nevertheless, Simon received a 10-day suspension. Sadly, this is his final year of teaching. He is retiring at the end of the year, which means he won't get to say goodbye to his students. He's been told he can attend graduation ceremonies, under the condition he not speak to any students or other faculty. A ridiculous ending to a 50-year career. One student who is protesting his suspension summed it up:
"They just did it," Jennifer Schultz said. "I love him. He was a great teacher. If you don't teach history and how far everything has come then you are not doing your job."
Farewell, Ken Simon. Best of luck in your retirement.

One never knows when the homosexual is about. He may appear normal and it may be too late when you discover he is mentally ill.
