What did your middle school teacher get fired for?

For being gay.

My 6th grade Latin teacher was dismissed after his life partner came in one day. Personally, it's one of my earliest LGBT memories and even then it left a bad taste in my mouth. I found it quite weird to fire a teacher over a personal relationship he held moreover I actually liked Latin. (They replaced the course with Spanish which didn't click with me nearly the same way.)

In hindsight I still wish they didn't fire the guy like they did. It taught me at a young age that being gay was socially wrong -which hasn't made my own experiences with sexuality any easier. Straight or unemployment isn't a peachy picture.
