Watch now (1 min) | An alarmed New Jersey parent sent us a video of what appears to be Shawnee High School English teacher, Jon Posch promoting his politically charged worldview of sexuality to a room of students. "Look, for somebody who identifies as straight, when you walk by two guys holding hands, it just bothers you and you just can't stop thinking about it. And all day you are thinking about it and maybe you feel a little bit tingly. What might be going on a lot of times?”
An English teacher playing psychologist on his classroom, and mighty bad psychology at that: if you think the behavior of others is inappropriate or unhealthy, then that means you actually want to do it. Yeah, right. And therefore, he's trying to stigmatize anyone saying it's not good.
We must terminate government schools, asap (and no, that doesn't mean I secretly want government schools ).
The left preys on the vulnerable and mentally ill! They have been succeeding in steering children away from family life and God for decades. It started with scaring them off from having children, creating scared selfish people that will abort a miracle from God to cater to their selfish needs. Now that they succeeded in that they push perversion. When either of these 2 things happen they have successfully pulled someone away from God and a wholesome life! Leads to more depression and addiction! Ask yourself who at the top benefits from that!
Sometimes a blog hits the mark, sometimes it misses the mark. This one is a miss of course.
English teachers are among the first of many high school teachers who discuss psychology. The teaching of English goes beyond conjugation and sentence diagrams, and in close reading and interpretation seeks to understand something called “meaning”. Were an English teacher unable to look at reaction formation as a motivation when a character has paradoxical reaction to events, I’d ask for another teacher. Kudos to this one.
A High School English teacher discussing the old chestnut of homophobic reaction formation hardly bears repetition much less scrutiny. For anyone who has been awake the last 50 years it’s obvious that it holds no “politically charged” view on anything, other than stating the obvious in our world. I didn’t hear him call out the other obvious point that a majority of homophobic hypocrites seem to emerge from the Republican Party. My friends and I have been wondering for years why Republicans are anti-affirmative action, since they are the party of affirmative action employment for gay sex abusers along with charismatic Christian organizations (well, second only to the Catholic Church).
Aside from private homophobia, publicly homophobic politicians and religious figures emerge in the press roughly every 137 days on average. Here’s a brief list back to 2004, or quite close to what the teacher states If you listen to the recording.
I suspect it would be larger except for COVID; I can calculate the homophobic sex scandal deficit through COVID if someone’s interested.
The Right-Wing Fidesz scandal leader Szájer should get a scandal academy award for the trifecta he had in 2020: the depth of his gay sex (naked, crawling in a gutter, fleeing a notorious “anything goes” unprotected gang-bang sex party in Belgium), drugs (backpack with plenty of illegal substances en Vogue at such events), and a disease (violating COVID restrictions, and likely safe sex practices.
Consider this list and then think: would I rather have my children listen to the English Teacher, or the politics presented by these people.

It's like 90% of your articles are sound arguments why kids should NOT be in public schools anymore. This guy has no right to spout this garbage to children. Makes me sick to my stomach. 🤮
There’s nothing incorrect about what the teacher is saying in terms of actual homophobia among religious leaders when pray the gay away was a thing. Since then the definition of homophobia has expanded to areas whereby disagreement, concern, or skepticism is now considered bigoted according to activists. But my main issue here is; is this supposed to be a class on the alphabet people or is he going off topic? This obsession with sexuality is as though it should be a focal point is not expanding the minds of the students.

This person is himself dealing in one of the most thoroughly-debunked, bigoted, and homophobic falsehoods out there.
I hope the parents of the students in this class or all his classes are made aware at least.
