A teacher at a San Antonio, Texas high school is being accused by a parent for saying his son is gay and that his girlfriend is a "cover" to a classroom full of students.

NIXON, Texas - A local father is upset because he says a teacher at Nixon-Smiley High School told a classroom full of students his son is gay. District leaders are aware of the allegations and say they wasted no time launching an investigation.

Fighting for justice, this father whose identity we're protecting turned to News 4 San Antonio."Because I don't want it swept under the rug," he said. The father says his teenage son is being bullied at Nixon-Smiley High School after a teacher allegedly told his girlfriend and a classroom full of students he's gay and is using her (his girlfriend) as a cover.

He says he's filed a complaint with the district and has already had a meeting with the school principal and the accused teacher. He says the teacher admitted she said it. "She assumed it because of the way he looks," he said. The way he looks, the way he dresses, the man said. "He's a well-mannered kid, takes care of himself."

"Gay or straight is not the problem here," the father explained. "The problem is the teacher making a comment causing bullying in a school." In a statement the district spokeswoman says, "We are aware of the allegations currently under investigation as the student's parent goes through a grievance process."

The father said, "She's apologized but I didn't want an apology. What's done is done so there's nothing she can take back." He wants the teacher to lose her job.

4. Bless you! Librarians are my favorite people.

Looking back, it seems I spent about half my childhood in libraries, lost in the wonder and magic of books, with a wise librarian always there to help me find more.

7. Thank you...

My library was a sanctuary. Many periods I would have over 100 students in there...we were family.

3. "He wants the teacher to lose her job." So do I.

Someone that ignorant, vicious, and prejudiced should not be teaching children of whatever age.

6. Back when I was in junior high school we had a science teacher who was a real jerk

He was handing out graded test, calling each student up by name to get their tests. After caliing three consecutively boys up, he added, "the gay trio". I was friends with all of them and muttered "asshole" a lttle too loud. He heard me and gave me a detention.
