True for high school teachers (like me), too. I don't have tenure in the (crazy stupid conservative) state I teach in, so I'm afraid to answer when a student asks me for an opinion. I hate lying to my students, but what else can I do? I already have enough going against me for being Jewish.

AYRT

I can't even imagine how much worse it must be for high school teachers.

At least I have the comfort of knowing that the students I teach are legally considered adults and, therefore, I have a bit of leeway in my interaction with them.

I lie or don't say too. I don't lie about the important stuff. I don't allow racism or sexism or homophobia or religious persecution to take place in my class (and I'm sure you don't either). But I don't talk about my *own* religious beliefs or sexuality or politics or anything. It feels just too dangerous.

K-12 teachers can't get tenure in any of the southern states I've lived in either. I didn't even know you *could* get tenure at that level in other parts of the country until I went off to college.
