When a teacher was targeted with homophobic harrassment by a student's parents, he came to Reddit to ask for advice. *Trigger warning: homophobia*

I am an art teacher at a school in a small town, recently I welcomed a new student to the class, he had previously been homeschooled but had begged his parents to let him go to normal school with his friends. He's a great kid, he has already fit right in with the class and he does really great work.
My only issue with him has been that he does not ask to leave the classroom, if he needs a bathroom he just leaves. I'm not the strict "everything needs to be my way" kind of teacher, but administration has a very strict policy for students outside of classrooms during class periods.
