also, if they weren't joking about being teachers, should someone try and let their schools know? idk. doxxing isn't great when it comes to randos, but :yikes:
Doxxing is horrible and should never be done to randos, but it has worked fairly well as a form of antifascist praxis in the past. It's a tough call in general. But it's a very easy call when a teacher is both a pedophile and a vocal queerphobe. In that case, doxxing them means that you're protecting their pupils from the threat of bigotted harassment and SA. That person just has no business being around children.
HOWEVER, you should make absolutely sure that it's actually them. Lots of extremely online reactionaries operate sock puppet accounts and are extremely manipulative liars. I wouldn't put it past them that they're still teenagers themselves and deliberately put out a false trail that directs doxxing attempts against one of their teachers.
:yea:

yeah, definitely agree with all that. there isn't really anything to be done here except hope they aren't actually teachers, which sucks
