Laws restricting discussion about race, gender and sexuality have prompted some teachers to leave these states entirely.
Jason Glass, who’s leaving his post as Kentucky’s education commissioner on September 29,
“I think it’s really shameful and embarrassing,” he said. “I’m embarrassed as a Kentuckian to be associated with this.”in the eleventh hour of the state legislative session this year. He chose to resign from his job as the state’s top education official rather than enforce restrictions. Instead, he has started a job that will take him a six-hour drive away from his wife and children. He wants to stand with LGBTQ+ people, he said, including those who are close family and friends.
Glass knows that not everyone is in a financial position to be able to leave their job because of state law, and he says he can’t judge anyone who stays. Still, the emotional costs for teachers who stay are high — especially for LGBTQ+ teachers.
