Finger’s only child was a son, Fred Finger, who was gay and died in 1992 at age 43 of AIDS complications.
But Nobleman discovered Fred Finger had a daughter, Athena Finger.
But she said it led to questions from students, meaning Nobleman and students might discuss sexuality without parents being warned.
The mere mention of the word “gay” didn't merit claims made online by critics that Nobleman was “ grooming or sexualizing children," he said, and it ignored that some Sharon Elementary students have gay parents.
“I couldn't imagine coming from a family with gay members and reading that apology just for saying the word ‘gay.’”
