By Paul Nyathi| Parents of students at St John’s College in Harare have demanded that the Headmaster of the school, his deputy and all members of the School Board resign immediately following revelations that the school condoned a teacher who revealed his sexual orientation to children at assembly.

Details from a meeting held at the school on Monday evening indicate that the meeting ended in chaos with parents throwing missiles at the Headmaster demanding for his immediate resignation together with his collegues in the board.

The teacher stood up at assembly on Friday morning and told students: “I’m gay.”

Neal Novelmeier said he had made the decision to declare his sexuality in the hope that it would “curb homophobic behaviour” at the school located in Borrowdale.

In a shocking move, he was supported by the school’s headmaster, Cavaliere Corrado Trinci, deputy headmaster Andrew Sakala and Charles N. Msipa, the chairman of the school’s board of governors.

An urgent parents meeting was convened on Monday where the parents denigrated the school administrators for exposing their children to a culture they do not teach them at their homes.
