[quote]A teacher at Deerfield Beach High School is fighting the Broward school district over its handling of an accusation that she possibly contributed to a young girl's homosexuality.
Juliet Hibbs, a straight woman currently on medical leave, was investigated last year for misconduct after the girl's parents made those allegations to the school's principal. However, the district cleared her and no action was taken.
"I was shocked by the charges" and the principal's decision to have the district pursue the matter, said Hibbs, 47, who is now filing a case with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against the school system.
According to the district's investigative report, the incident began last year while the student was in Hibbs' class. She was suddenly barraged with incendiary messages from her stepdad on her Twitter feed after he discovered the girl's orientation.
"As each message came, she got smaller … I watched her get destroyed," Hibbs said, who reported the incident as child abuse and cyberbullying.
The girl, 18 at the time, never returned home.
The parents told investigators they were upset that Hibbs had not told them about their daughter's orientation. They accused her of possibly contributing to their daughter being gay and believed Hibbs had told the girl to not come home.
But in the district report, the daughter said an abuse counselor told her she didn't have to go home because she was of age. Of Hibbs, she said the allegations were far-fetched since a straight woman couldn't make someone become a lesbian.
Hibbs said the complaint should have been handled by the school and she believes the district investigation was an attempt to bully her for being too outspoken on other school issues.
"My career has been ruined. Before Deerfield, I had an impeccable record," said Hibbs, an educator for 10 years. She said she now has several medical problems from the stress of the situation that will likely prevent her from teaching.
The school's principal, Jon Marlow, did not respond to two calls seeking comment.
Hibbs has filed charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against the district, the principal and the assistant principal at Deerfield Beach High.
Advocates for the gay and lesbian community called the charges absurd.
"A teacher doesn't determine the sexual orientation of a student," said Dr. Katharine Campbell, director of clinical services at SunServe in Broward County, which works with gay youth. She said teachers are there to help students find out who they are and helping them shouldn't bring repercussions.
Hibbs isn't the first to accuse the principal of intimidation. Over the summer, about half a dozen teachers spoke out about mistreatment at the school. Though no formal investigation against Marlow was ever launched, Superintendent Robert Runcie said he would look into the matter.[/quote]

"Contributing to the homosexuality of a young woman"
Why would anyone want to be a teacher?

It sounds like her parents are the real problem here, and needed someone to scapegoat.
WHY IS OUR DAUGHTER GAY, SURELY THIS CANT BE OUR FAULT? NO, ITS THE TEACHERS! AND THE DAMNED EDUCATION SYSTEM, POISONING OUR CHILDREN'S MINDS WITH HOMOSEXUALITY, EQUAL RIGHTS, "EVOLUTION," ...

in other words, as baboo00 said, it's the parent's fault, and they try to blame everyone except themselves because obviously they are perfect parents

I don't mean it's her parents' fault that she's a homosexual, I mean it's her parents' fault that the teacher's career was ruined and the daughter lives such a stressful life.

Uh, no one is "at fault" if she's gay. She likes other chicks, big fucking deal, just let her get on with her life just like everyone else.

Might as well call her a witch while burning her at the stake.
If it's possible to turn someone gay, then why don't the parents just turn her straight?
Dumbasses.

You can't turn someone into homo,that is a hormone disorder,you can only help discover it
The teacher probably has a lesbianator ray-gun like device

I imagined Dr. Steve Brule saying that :v:
i like to think there's a lesbian in each of us
Sigh, stupid parents
She probably just said "Being gay is alright, there's nothing wrong with it" and she got accused of turning the student lesbian.
But my mind prefers the porn version of the situation.
