It is these qualities in a teacher that a student admires and seeks to imitate. Students do not need to know a teacher's sexual orientation. Students are not in school to hear about or support a teacher's orientation or lifestyle. At this point in a young person's life, he or she needs careful and student-centered advice and guidance, not more confusion in sorting through a teacher's homosexuality. The Right Place Publicly announcing one's sexual orientation in a Catholic school is misguided, pedagogically and psychologically flawed and does nothing to further the church's authentic teachings about the dignity of every homosexual person.
Homosexuals deserve respect and dignity and the freedom to share their sexual journey.
However, I do not believe that this sharing should take place in a Catholic school by a teacher, administrator or staff member.
