A South Carolina teacher was fired after she handed out an unapproved article on LGBTQ+ identity to her 10th-grade students, according to the district.
Spartanburg School District 6 officials learned about the incident at Dorman High School on Friday and addressed the issue with the Language Arts teacher.
The teacher told school officials that it was her personal decision to distribute the article to her students and facilitate a class discussion, according to Fox Carolina.
The district said the article was “inappropriate” and “unapproved.” The article centered on an LGBTQ+ subgroup called the International Bear Brotherhood, which provides men a way to feel more connected to their sexual identity.
The article entitled “The International Bear Brotherhood: What it is and why it’s important” says the Bear Brotherhood is a subgroup within the LGBTQ+ community that has a history of supporting homosexual men.
