In this latest episode, we are thrilled to interview Willie Carver, the 2022 Kentucky Teacher of the Year, who recently resigned from his position as a high school teacher in a public school, due to homophobia and harrassment. Those of you who listened to our episodes about Bret Bigham, 2014 Oregon Teacher of the Year (Season 1 Episodes 26 and 27) will be struck by the similarities in these stories. Sadly, there is an eight year difference between them-meaning that even all those years later, homophobic behavior by is still present and thriving in schools.

Give a listen to Willie's interview, which will make it clear as to why he was given the Teacher of the Year honor to begin with, and will also cause you to shake your head and wonder, "What can be done to stop this from happening?"

Thanks to Max Siskind, of the "Max and Maks in the Morning" podcast, for voicing our intro.
