Teacher on MSNBC Worries He Can’t Discuss His Love Life with Kindergarteners Anymore

EXCERPT:

BERBAERT: "Absolutely. You are 100 percent correct. That’s what we do as educators, we build relationships with our kids. And in order to build relationships you talk about your home life, you talk about what you do on the weekends, that's building community. It scares me that I am not going to be able to have these conversations with my children because they’re going to ask me what I did on the weekend. I don’t have to hide that my partner and I went paddle boarding this weekend. Because then they ask, what does partner mean, Mr. Bernaert? And I am worried can I tell them what it means. I'm also worried for my kids. I have a little girl from this year who has two moms and the kids are curious about her two moms. They want to know about her two moms. If they go to her and ask her about her two moms and she doesn't know what to say, they’re going to come to me and ask me. And then, you know, so what do I do? It just -- it opens up for patients to really take some legal action against the school and teachers."
