A gay teacher has been barred from teaching classes at a Bangladesh secondary school in response to protests by students. Ramzan Ali, a teacher at Savar Model College near Dhaka, Bangladesh, remains unwelcome in classes there after students protested his presence in late August because he was accused of having a homosexual encounter with a student 14 years ago. Thousands of students of Savar Model College boycotted classes on Aug. 28 and 29 and demanded his withdrawal at a teacher in the school’s Islamic department.
