A Bronx high school teacher has been fired following a series of homophobic incidents in his classroom dating back to 1985.

The final straw for school administrators came when Terence Brunson, 44, called on LGBT students to identify themselves during class and then demanded three lesbian students be "immediately" transferred out of his room.

The Morris High School social-studies teacher was suspended last spring. Brunson appealed and a state arbitrator found him guilty of 15 specific incidents of discrimination, harassment and misconduct during the 2001-2002 school year. He was then fired by the Department of Education.

3. They actually did it. Must have been afraid of a lawsuit.

But, I wonder if Brunson's unbalanced, or if this is a put up stunt like Roy Moore's?

"The arbitration hearing also was told that Brunson had made sexual overtures to a female student and sexually harassed adult females at the school."

Theres always one scandal or another behind these fundies. Look whose going to hell now...

10. I wonder if he'd have let them stay if they made out in front of him

That's a very common straight male fantasy. I cannot believe it didn't waft through that rotted cranium of his at least twice a day.

7. Good riddance

The guy sounds seriously psycho.

8. wow!

how professional!

The arbiter found that he told a lesbian student - whom Brunson said he had thought was a boy - to "show" him she was female, and then told her, "I could get a guy to turn you straight."

9. the student should have replied

"yeah, and i could get a guy to turn YOU gay!"

[shamanstar]

11. or

"if the guy is you, i doubt it"

He has no business being a teacher with a small mind like that.
