Teacher schools homophobic Internet troll in the best possible way

Teacher schools homophobic Internet troll in the best possible way

A Twitter troll received an important lesson in tolerance (and basic grammar) when he posed a hypothetical question to his 1,268 followers about whether they would be okay with their child being taught by a gay teacher.

Last week, aspiring hip hop artist (and Bill Cosby supporter) @Naj_Mullah tweeted:

As a straight man, how do u [sic] feel about your child having a homosexual teacher!? Who their [sic] around for 8 hours of the day!

Fortunately, Twitter user @haitreason — himself a “homosexual teacher” from Texas — noticed the tweet and crafted the perfect response:

If a gay teacher teaches my child the difference between they’re, their, and there, I’m good.

Before the original tweet was deleted, the response was retweeted and liked over 33,000 times.

Related: This mother refused to let a gay man teach her children. His response is incredible.

Unfortunately, Naj_Mullah doesn’t seem to have learned his lesson.

After being schooled by the school teacher, he went on the defensive, spewing off a number of unapologetically nasty tweets
