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.
