Should he still be allowed to teach in school?
-
There is this teacher in a private school. He was caught by the police committing an indecent act with a man in public and the police let him off with a stern warning. The management then sacked him, after learning that he was a gay. Do you think it is fair?
-
If it contravenes with the work contract that he has read, agreed to, and signed, of course its fair.
-
The reputation of the sch would be tarnished if words gets around. and i remembered that any 1 who did something bad to the name of the sch can and will be sacked.
-
As long as he dun do such things in sch.. separate work from personal life. Why not?
My fren also saw her tutor behaving that way with another man. Still like that wor. -
OMG, that school is gay!!
-
That school has no gays by the way. To correct a misconception

So what do you all think? Do you think he should be allowed to go back to work?
-

If they allowed him to go back there to work, would they sack him in the first place?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:So what do you all think? Do you think he should be allowed to go back to work? -
if the majority of singaporeans still cannot his behaviour .. then democracy still lives on.Originally posted by coffeeortea:lmao.. looks like there's no democracy -
He is planning to sue the school. What do you think are the chances of getting back his job?
-
If he agreed to abide by all the rules and regulations that the school set out for him before he started work there and is stated clearly in black and white he understood all the given terms, and that the school reserves all rights to sack him should he contravene any of the given terms. Then he has no case.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:He is planning to sue the school. What do you think are the chances of getting back his job?
He would have to prove that he was sacked without proper justification. -
I don't know the terms and conditions of the school, but I do know that a person has his rights. Even MNCs allow gays to work in their companies. Why should the private school sack him?
-
The core of the problem here is not whether he is a gay or not.
But rather he has committed an indecent act in public.
-
You have a point there. But the school sacked him because he admitted he is a gay.Originally posted by TooFree:The core of the problem here is not whether he is a gay or not.

By committing that act, he has tarnished the reputation of the school. Why so? Because he is an employee of the school. People know what he's done, people know where he works. People might not want to go there because of just the simple fact that he works there.
If you know a particular supermarket that stocks rotten food, would you still patronise it?
The school has thus most likely sacked him on based on thier interest on keeping their reputation, and not because he is what he is. Remember, the organisation always reserves the right to terminate the contract of an employee if they deem fit. -
You mean he go up to the management and declare he is a gay? Can't be...
One way or the other his offence must have reach the management ears. -
He declared it after the police tell the management. Not that he goes straight to the management and tell.Originally posted by TooFree:You mean he go up to the management and declare he is a gay? Can't be...

But, the point is that he admitted he is a gay, not because he committed an indecent act. Another question. If they sacked him because they want to keep reputation, why not just say it? Why say that they sacked him because he is a gay? Aren't that unfair?Originally posted by ditzy:By committing that act, he has tarnished the reputation of the school. Why so?

I don't think he was sacked for being gay.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:There is this teacher in a private school.

It is more due to the fact that he was caught for indecent act in public.
You think if he had done it with a girl in public, it is going to be a difference? -
Did they say "We can't keep you, because you're gay!" ?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:But, the point is that he admitted he is a gay, not because he committed an indecent act. Another question.

No, right?
