So my teacher wants us to explore diversity in our class so she gave us a list of things such as race, gender, religion, and sexuality and what we had to do was write down what our answer was to each, basically like a form. Then! She made us get in a huge circle and made us share our answers to the class for race and ethnicity. On thursday we have to discuss our sexuality which i would have no problem sharing with her one on one but not in front of the class especially all my roommates! one of them knows and is cool with it but idk about the other two since they havent found out yet. i dont know my sexuality for sure, im still trying to find out for myself but ive dated girls and guys-more girls though lol ive kind of planned out what id say but im still reallly worried about this :/ if i dont participate i get a zero and its a quiz grade and my first year of college.it could be a good thing to share my story to serve as an inspiration to someone who might be in the closet or is going through the process of finding themself as well but im still unsure of what to do. my class is like a group community, we all live on the same hall next door to each other which makes it slightly complicated :/ what do you think i should do?
It's a class about working in groups. I think she wants us to be exposed to different kinds of people etc. I just feel it should be voluntary at least.
 
Wow. Is your teacher the reincarnation of Adolph Fücking Hitler or something?

I can't believe the fücking NERVE of the ßitch.
 
Your teacher is a dickhead -I would definitely file a complaint!
Sexual preferences is not something you should be forced to discuss in class as its very personal.
What a wanker -I would instead take up the discussion how your teacher came up with this very unprofessional and inapropiate idea!
 
She can't make you do that. Just don't show up on thursday to that class. Go see a school consular and tell him or her about it. Teachers are not allowed to do that because it is psychologically unhealthy to force someone to out themselves when they are not ready. That is personal business and should not be required to be exposed for a class grade. Not only is it psychologically wrong but it is dangerous. You don't know these people or how they were brought up. If you have someone in that class who is homophobic or overly religious that can be dangerous to you. If I were you I'd skip thursday and go in early on friday and talk to the teacher. If she gives you a zero go to the guidance consular at the school.
 
Tell your focus group minded hippie teacher, to bang her tambourine. Rather than sticking her nose into yours, or other peoples personal and private business.
 
If it's a class about sexuality, then you can either comply or lie. If it's not a class about sexuality, I would complain to the chair of the department, and the dean. In fact, I think I'd complain anyway. Forcing someone to either lie or out themselves is not worthy of higher education.
