Fucking pronouns!!! 😲
That's a well radicalised obedient party soldier who will stop at nothing once you point at an inconvenient target and say the right buzzwords. Real Jan6 material, just as planned and executed for decades.
I mean, it's a Reddit story, so grain of salt.
But it is a very funny story
Yeah this is peak reddit story telling. I can even see the top comment: this is MORE than mildly infuriating. That's why it's posted there, engagement farming

Wonder if this is real or just ragebait, really can't be sure in the current day lmao
If I agree with it, it must be real.
On reddit it's usually best to just assume something is for attention
The fascinating thing about these stories is that 10+ years ago people were all like: pics or didn't happen.
Now everyone is up in arms to defend these stories they want to believe in. /R/nOtHiNgEvErHaPpEnS

I saw a meme yesterday that references this phenomenon:
"the saying used to be 'it's too good to be true' has morphed into 'it's too horrid to be false.'"

A Teacher in Utah was fired for writing an educational blog post about homophones.

Christ it's the pediatrician named Peter Phile from Brasseye. Satire is dead.
He isn't a teacher he's a social media provocateur I would take that story with a huge grain of salt.
Yeah, none of it makes sense. Why would any teacher not immediately file a lawsuit, unless they're not a teacher and they're trying to drum up "engagement"? But hey, just like the story in the OP, no need to ask questions because it jibes with my point of view!

"may see the ‘homo’ side and think it has something to do with gay sex."
Better not let him see assume, class, bass (ironically a homophone) or many other words with such scandalous suffixes lol
I swear, I've been thinking there's nothing from the US that can surprise me anymore, but this did get me.
How can there be no-one there in any position of power to ask "wtf are you doing"?
The thing that really gets me about this story is it was an ESL School. The students were mostly adults learning to speak English. Not only should an ESL school understand the English language well enough to know what a homophone is, homophones are an extremely important concept for non-native English speakers because that kind of word can cause lexical confusion.
This teacher was fired for doing his job correctly.

Any person who freaks out over grammar lessons and destroys a child's homework is completely unhinged and seriously needs some mental health care interventions.
That lack of impulse control and rage has no place in a family setting.... or anywhere really.
I guess these are the family values conservatives are pushing these days. Grown men ripping up a kid's homework assignments. I guess book burning wasn't enough.
