        It's a good thing he resigned. We are going to sentence him a year in jail and to never impose his private life on our children. We will never allow such animal behavior in Zimbabwe.

        I respect a person for their professionalism regardless of sexual preference. HOWEVER, I will not tolerate anyone indoctrinating my child w/ behaviors contrary to my personal beliefs & faith. Teachers should keep their bigotry or sexual lifestyle to themselves and stick to RRR

        We have a long way to go in terms of educating people about acceptance. We are all made differently. It is those differences that makes us stronger as a species. Every human being has their own special talents and virtues; every human being is a gift that deserves to be valued.

        What a shame. Get out of Zimbabwe, they don’t deserve a good teacher like him.

        Resigned due to pressure from parents who were threatening legal action. I don't think that qualifies to be called a death threat

        I have cropped it down to the paragraph where he states that he has been threatened.
