I have a lot of questions about different parts of this title that I don’t understand, but I support him.
Marc Tyler Nobleman was supposed to talk to kids about the secret co-creator of Batman, with the aim of inspiring young students in suburban Atlanta’s Forsyth County to research and write.
Then the school district told him he had to cut a key point from his presentation — that the artist he helped rescue from obscurity had a gay son. Rather than acquiesce, he canceled the last of his talks.
First of all thank you for saving a click. Secondly, Marc Tyler Nobleman is not just a Batman researcher, he is a symbol. What an absolute Chad.
Would he have said the artist had a ‘straight’ son? Or is it just a son in that case?
I want the title of “Batman researcher”
These policies are riddled with discrimination and hypocrisy. These extremists need two face reality and put a freeze on them.
…batman researcher?
Then the school district told him he had to cut a key point from his presentation — that the artist he helped rescue from obscurity had a gay son. Rather than acquiesce, he canceled the last of his talks.
“We’re long past the point where we should be policing people talking about who they love,” Nobleman said in a telephone interview. “And that’s what I’m hoping will happen in this community.”
They didn’t ask him not to “say ‘gay’”, as the title all but claims. They asked him to participate in the erasure of a relevant gay person from a story he was teaching to children.
I dunno, would he mention the artist had a straight son? Or is it just a son in that case?
What are you talking about?
Was this guy hanged?
This is the second reply you’ve made that doesn’t make any sense, lol.
Wait, was it a relevant person?
It’s the son of the artist, right? Did the son have anything to do with Batman? Did the son’s sexual orientation have anything to do with Batman?
What else is relevant about the son? Was he an artist? A writer? What did he do for a living? Did he have any relevant health disorders? Food preferences? Did he have any children?
BROADLY SPEAKING, your sexual preferences are the least interesting or relevant things in any conversation, unless we’re considering dating each other.
I don’t know the history of Batman so maybe it’s actually relevant, but my gut says it’s just not.
who gives aa shit. telling people what words they can and connote say is the censorship in the extreme.
My policy has always been that I don’t care what you do in your own bedroom unless I’m involved in it, that is. Mainly, I just mean I don’t care to know everyone’s orientation. It’s not something I find relevant in most situations.
He should have let himself be fired. Then he could have brought a lawsuit against the school district over the matter. The school district would have had to demonstrate their reason to fire him on the record. If the researcher received damages for wrongful termination, the taxpayers would know it’s their money that is being frivolously spent to support someone’s homophobic agenda.
Probably couldn’t get them for wrongful termination. At-Will employment is a bitch.
But he could likely get unemployment for being terminated without cause, which is a different thing.
he was a one time guest speaker. you don’t get to claim unemployment for that. and he chose to cancel, not the school
he was a one time guest speaker
In that case, no reason not to walk.
I knew he’d quit. I was just clarifying that waiting to be fired from a job isn’t useful from a “wrongful termination” standpoint because At-Will Employment means “wrongful termination” doesn’t really exist in any state except Montana. But if he had been an employee, he would have had grounds to collect unemployment if terminated without cause.
