13. Regarding lesson plans

All teachers should have lesson plans, and many districts (or states) require a specific format and such for lesson plans. When I taught, I had detailed lesson plans often, but sometimes would just wing it. Other teachers would have lesson plans to satisfy the district requirements, but they wouldn't use them in class.

Experienced teachers often know their subject so well and have taught the pieces so often that they don't keep updated lesson plans.

It seems an FOIA request would be appropriate in this case, in order to see what the plan was, or if there even was a plan.

The teacher, by keeping quiet, is following the best social media strategy of allowing defenders to come to his aid rather than defending himself.

He might be a rollicking homophobic bastard, but this might also be fallout from the recent upsurge of outrage at how many people often treat minority segments of the population. I wonder if the complaint came from homophobes in class unhappy the teacher was normalizing LGBT acceptance by underlining how much things have changed, from LGBT kids misperceiving the lesson as an attack, or from vindictive students (think Mean Girls or bullies) trying to exact revenge on a teacher for something unrelated to the lesson.
