Episode 10: Queer Librarian
<p>Trigger warning: This episode contains content that may be upsetting to some listeners. Discussions contain references to homophobia and hate speech.</p><p>This week on Teacher Quit Talk, Frazz and Redacted hear a tale of how the Queer Librarian (formerly Classroom Yogi) endured and overcame a cancellation attempt from a far right troll with an unfortunately large platform. After her community rallies around her, she declares she will not be silenced. A beacon of light in the dark, she reminds us to stand up for others in the face of injustice and hate.</p><p>To submit an anonymous story about why you quit teaching, visit <a href="https://forms.gle/eD1DGwisBTVZ3rq59">https://forms.gle/eD1DGwisBTVZ3rq59</a></p><p>Lauren: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/queer_librarian_">https://www.instagram.com/queer_librarian_</a></p><p>Frazz: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mrs.frazzled">https://www.tiktok.com/@mrs.frazzled</a></p><p>Redacted: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@awalmartparki">https://www.tiktok.com/@awalmartparki</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVJhNWlKTGctcmNPVUM0a05Bd2JFU2pXZGl0Z3xBQ3Jtc0treC1ES19COHlrOXNWeG9kdDNORmVBMWdVTUZMQ3pBS0RYZHNPX1BvYTJac0M4U0g2N1NwNjVlMDBEclZCTEFhWmdfckJ6YTN1WkRLR1VXT3d2ZnZ3N25UcWRQUkRPUnhGNUNlT3hHVzRlUzVWRkxtdw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40awalmartparkinglot&amp;v=oedHsffufsE">nglot</a></p>
