I am a teacher in the Watts district of Los Angeles

Yesterda during my confrence period I was out walking the track in a rare chance to get some excercise and sunlight.

As I was walking I heard somebody yell out “Faggot. Mr. Z Faggot. Gay teacher in the Green shirt. Faggot”.

To make a long story short I am sure it was one of my students who has constantly baited me about being gay.

I spoke with my principal about this. I told her I want this kid out of my class.

But after speaking to one co-worker, my mom, by boyfriend and my best friend. I feel that this kid should at least be suspended.

Him yelling “faggot” at me is not different than if he had yelled “nig___” at an African-American teacher.

I am angry. And I am sick of this shit.

I have already lived through being picked on by teenagers for being gay. I am not a little boy anymore. I am a 31 year old gay man and I know what legal rights I have and I will explore those if necessary.

For those idiots who voted yes on Prop 8 because gay people haven’t suffered discrimination. Try living my life.

It’s trendy to help out in Africa but not in your own back yard!

I love Drew Barrymore. I always have. She is a survivor who took a career as a washed up teen star and become a successful producer.

I commend her for giving $1 million to charity.

BUT. Let’s be honest $1 million isn’t that much to her. That’s only a fraction of what she made off of one “Charlie’s Angels” movie.

What I would like is see a celebrity donate a lot of money (for them not for the average person). The only time I can think of a celebrity doing this was when Steven Spielberg took all the money he would have made from “Schindler’s List” and donating it to holocaust causes.

Good job Drew but you could do better.

Also I am so sick of celebrities being commended for doing charity work in Africa. Is it needed there? Yes. But you know what there are people living in these people’s backyard who need help too.

I am a teacher in Los Angeles. These celebrities live in the Hollywood Hills yet less than 10 miles away there are children who have to sleep on the floors of their homes so they aren’t hit by stray bullets from drive my shootings. They can’t walk to see and feel safe because they my get jumped. This is happening in the city these celebrities live in but they choose to spend go to Africa.

They have the time and money to help people here and people there. But it’s not trendy to do work in America. It would probably be just too shocking in Americans really had to see what is going on in their own country. So our celebrities go to Africa and continue ignore what is going on right under their nose.

Angelina, Brad, Drew, Madonna, George why don’t you help out at home too?
