A Response To The Open Letter Asking MOE To Cease Hiring Male Gay Teachers

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

Dear Sir or Madam, and the poster,

I am writing this open letter in response to another open letter that's been circulating online. I am advising you to go against their intention in the open letter, and this open letter is also meant to reach out to the poster. In that letter, it addresses the cessation of hiring gay teachers in response to the "many" cases of gay teachers sexually assaulting their students. The writer believes that this should be done as homosexuals are the small minority who "became teachers to satisfy their own immoral desires".

Not only is that extremely ignorant, it is also incorrect and very prejudiced.

First of all, out of the few cases the writer has talked about, in which gay teachers have committed sexual acts towards their students, it cannot be confirmed that they are in fact, gay. The offender may have assaulted males, but be attracted to females, and therefore a heterosexual.

In addition, there's been countless other cases of sexual assault by teachers towards the opposite sex, such as the female teacher who had sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old student. If we were to apply the poster's logic to this situation, is it not fair to then say that MOE should cease the hiring of all straight female teachers?
