“I’m not pushing anything, just being accepting.” – Jenna Barbee
Jenna Barbee a teacher at Winding Waters School in Hernando County, Florida is being accused and investigated of “indoctrination.” Under the Parental Rights in Education Act, dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law under which Florida educators are forbidden from teaching about gender and sexual orientation in the classroom from kindergarten through high school.
Her crime? She showed her 5th. graders (8 and 9-year-olds) a Disney movie “Strange World.” While being aware of one harmless gay character. who has a crush on another male character.
Barbie went so far as to get signed parent permission slips from all of her students’ parents allowing her to show the children a PG-rated film and there were “no objections to specific content”.
Barbee was reported by the child of a school board member who she said is “on a rampage to get rid of every form of representation out of our schools.”
Barbee was reported by the child of a school board member who she said is “on a rampage to get rid of every form of representation out of our schools.”
“She even spent days this past week going to all the high schools to get rid of anything that had to do with representation whatsoever,” Barbee said. “She even had admin escort her to a teacher’s classroom that had a sticker of a black hand and a white hand, holding hands, and the white hand had a different colored fingernail for every finger.”
Barbee later found out she was being accused of “indoctrination”.
Per CNN, a statement given to parents from the school district said, “Yesterday, the Disney movie Strange World was shown in your child’s classroom. While not the main plot of the movie, parts of the story involve a male character having and expressing feelings for another male character. In the future, this movie will not be shown. The school administration and the district’s Professional Standards Dept. are currently reviewing the matter to see if further corrective action is required.”
Barbee said none of her students “cared or batted an eye” and now they are going to be interrogated individually, which she says is going to cause them undue “trauma.”
Snitches? Interrogations?
I think Florida has lost its mind and this school board member is as bad as a Terrorist.
