A teacher in Florida is being investigated after showing her fifth grade class a movie with a gay character. “The whole fifth grade team had signed permission slips for PG movies, with no objections to specific content”
The controversy comes after Florida’s state education board voted to expand its controversial “Don’t Say Gay” law to all grade levels last month, and as Disney faces a legal battle with Governor Ron DeSantis for what it said was retaliation for speaking up against the legislation.
Barbee added that her actions were not out of line with the school’s procedure for showing films. “I was told by every teacher and mentor at our school that our method for approval by administration was to have a signed parent permission slip for PG movies,” she said. “I had that from the beginning of the year. The whole fifth grade team had signed permission slips for PG movies, with no objections to specific content.
However, the daughter of a school board member was in the classroom at the time, and the parent filed a complaint for “indoctrination,” Barbee said in her video. “That school board member is currently on a rampage to get rid of every form of representation out of our schools.” Teachers who violate “Don’t Say Gay,” known formally as the Parental Rights in Education Act, can be stripped of their educator’s license. The Florida Department of Education toldthat the complaint against Barbee will be reviewed by an investigator, and an attorney will then provide a recommendation to the commissioner for next steps.
“None of my students cared or batted an eye. They didn’t even know this was a big deal until the board member and the state made it a big deal,” Barbee said.
