normal adults wouldn't be offended, you know this and pretend you don't. Why?
LOL Knowing many teachers she probably had it with the spoiled brats of today, not that we were saints. The kid got on her nerves and she reacted in an inappropriate and silly way. But then the right wing outrage industrial complex swings into action getting their panties all in a bunch over nothing. Seems the righties need this daily pablum to keep them occupied while the foxes steal and laugh all the way to the bank. You snowflakes are fun to watch, wait till tomorrow for more nonsense to keep you children occupied. For the open minded reader check out the book quoted below.
If Conservatism Is The Ideology of Freedom, I'm The Queen of England
"With engaging wit and subtle irony, Albert Hirschman maps the diffuse and treacherous world of reactionary rhetoric in which conservative public figures, thinkers, and polemicists have been arguing against progressive agendas and reforms for the past two hundred years.
Hirschman draws his examples from three successive waves of reactive thought that arose in response to the liberal ideas of the French Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man, to democratization and the drive toward universal suffrage in the nineteenth century, and to the welfare state in our own century. In each case he identifies three principal arguments invariably used: (1) the perversity thesis, whereby any action to improve some feature of the political, social, or economic order is alleged to result in the exact opposite of what was intended; (2) the futility thesis, which predicts that attempts at social transformation will produce no effects whatever—will simply be incapable of making a dent in the status quo; (3) the jeopardy thesis, holding that the cost of the proposed reform is unacceptable because it will endanger previous hard-won accomplishments. He illustrates these propositions by citing writers across the centuries from Alexis de Tocqueville to George Stigler, Herbert Spencer to Jay Forrester, Edmund Burke to Charles Murray. Finally, in a lightning turnabout, he shows that progressives are frequently apt to employ closely related rhetorical postures, which are as biased as their reactionary counterparts. For those who aspire to the genuine dialogue that characterizes a truly democratic society, Hirschman points out that both types of rhetoric function, in effect, as contraptions designed to make debate impossible. In the process, his book makes an original contribution to democratic thought."

North Carolina boy punished for calling teacher 'ma'am' at school, report says
The child was taught to address adults as sir or ma'am. That's heteronormative hate speech.

The school should admit the teacher made a mistake. What could be more obvious.
