“A popular middle school teacher has been singled out by a disgruntled student as being homosexual. The teacher is immediately fired and their teaching certificate revoked. Parents are furious over this action because they are an outstanding teacher who has won many honors for their superior teaching methods.

a) What political issues are involved with the actions taken by the school and parents towards the teacher?

Most of psychology deals with abstract concepts that are difficult to measure, however not impossible! There are some theorists who do not believe that the unconscious mind exists, therefore making it even more difficult to support. Do you agree or not agree with this? why or why not?
