Was-Fired-For-Being-Gay-130671728.html
Former Charter Oak High School water polo coach Mitch Stein
recalled the day he was told by the school principal that his
services would no longer be needed.
"I want you to know we are firing you and it's not because you
are gay," is Stein's recollection. "I asked her, 'why am I being
fired?' and she said, 'you are an at-will employee. We could
fire you at any time for any reason.'"
Stein thinks he knows what happened. He says he got in trouble
after a parent sent the district Facebook pictures of him posing
with drag queens.
"There is a picture of me with drag queens that he was offended
by," says Stein. "He said they were offensive and I said 'if I
were a straight male in that picture with cheerleaders would I
have been fired?'"
Officials from the Charter Oak School District, which serves
Covina, Glendora and San Dimas, say they can't say much about
Stein's dismissal because it is a personnel matter.
"Is there any chance he could be re-instated? Not that I know
off," said Superintendent Mike Hendricks. "We have no intention
at this time of doing that."
Julian Marquez Delgado is on the Charter Oak water polo team. He
wishes the school district would reconsider.
"He was a good coach," said Delgado.
Parents have mixed views.
"If the school district didn't fire him, I would have pulled my
child out of water polo," said parent Jenny Osterkamp.
"He was fired for being gay," says Tara Turner, another parent.
"I am gay. I think it is (wrong)."
Stein plans to file a lawsuit, unless he gets his job back.
"I want to go back to coaching. I want the school board to just
let me coach. I don't need an apology," he said.
Fuck you, Stein. Fags don't have any business around boys in
speedos.
