This teacher had the perfect comeback to the homophobic parents who sent him this
Teacher Michael Neri is everyone’s hero right now after he shared a text from parents who said they didn’t want their child being taught by him because he is gay.
Michael, who is a drama teacher in Kidderminster, had this response for them and it went viral because it’s 10/10.
Here’s the text he was sent (with names removed, of course).
And here is what he wrote back.
Could be the politest ‘f-ck you’ we’ve ever seen.
‘Theatre without gays is like cooking without spices (just my opinion)’
And this is what people had to say about it.
Got a lovely text this week pic.twitter.com/UWPGRycuph

@michaelneri as a practicing Catholic, I am genuinely embarrassed by the person that sent this. Your response is absolutely perfect.

@michaelneri As a Christian mom I would love it if you were my son's teacher. Kindness in the face of bigotry takes a big heart.

@michaelneri "Unfortunately deposits are non refundable but don't worry your deposit has been donated to an LGBT charity" xD So Good!
