Greetings:
	I believe that what a teacher does in the privacy of his/her own
bed has no bearing whatsoever on his/her ability to teach children
readin', 'ritin', or 'rithmetic.
	Parents have no rights to remove a specific teacher, but do have
the right to send their children to any private or public school.  Parents
do have the right to file complaints with the school board, who obviously,
can collect all the evidence before proceeding to determine which teachers
to tenure, and which to dump.  If you don't want your children brainwashed
in uncle sam's brainwashing machine, send them to a private school.  Or
keep them home and teach them yourself.  And throw out the television.
	Homosexuality exists all around you, and if you think you only
have to worry about your children at school, you'd better think again about
the other children they hang-out with,  or they just might find out about
its existance anyway.  Who cares?  Gender identity and mate's identity are
determined before age 2, and nobody sends kids to school before age 5.
They ain't gonna become homosexuals just because their teachers are.  Gee...
for high-school sex-ed, it might not be a bad idea to require both a straight
and a gay teacher for every class.  (you think homosexuals didn't go to school?)
	Now, when your child's history teacher starts practicing sexuality
with his/her students in or after class, who cares whether its homo or hetero?
That's grounds for removal by the school board.  i.e. the issue is not
homosexuality, but sexuality.  Teachers have no place dealing with their own
sexuality in the classroom except in the parental-optioned sex-ed class in
high school.  There students should have both gay and straight teachers, unless
you want to teach the gay students in separate-but-equal sex-ed classes :-).
