Don't Say Gay - Imgflip

Kentucky's 2022 Teacher of the Year has quit his high school over accusations that he was grooming children in a student-run LGBTQ club. 

Willie Carver Jr., who is openly gay, said he felt pushed out of Montgomery County High School after ten years by homophobia, describing his time teaching as a gay man in Kentucky as a 'death by a thousand cuts,' according to NBC News

His 'breaking point' was when a woman repeatedly accused him of grooming students during a school board meeting earlier this year - and he says the school did nothing to support or defend him.

Carver said that when he was accused of grooming - a homophobic accusation of predatory sexual behavior that has often been lobbed at the LGBTQ community - in March,  the accusations and attacks spread online, with somebody posting a photo of him and LGBTQ students alongside homophobic slurs. 

Carver said that the school did nothing in response, and instead told him they 'couldn't involve themselves every time the community became upset with something at the school.'
