Talk:Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone/@comment-33784431-20190521022244/@comment-25056645-20190521132647

It sounds like your looking for controversy that isn't there. Why should they mention the word "gay"? The focus of the episode is really on the kids trying to figure out who the "special someone" is and then they just want their teacher to be happy. Lesson learned? Have compassion for others and celebrate with others at happy times in their life.

Mr. Ratburn was not "gay coded" from the beginning, you say. He doesn't need to be! It clearly shows that whether your child's third grade teacher is gay or straight, he can still be an amazing teacher.
