Florida educators and local area individuals pressed a Hernando Region Educational committee meeting Tuesday in the midst of public tumult over an examination concerning a 5th grade instructor who showed a Disney film in her study hall.
Jenna Barbee, an educator at Winding Waters K-8, claimed recently that Hernando District Educational committee part Shannon Rodriguez revealed her to the Florida Division of Schooling for showing her understudies the 2022 film “Unusual World” – one of the primary Disney movies to have a straightforwardly LGBTQ+ character in a focal job.
The educational committee and state branch of schooling both opened an examination concerning Barbee, who has contended that the Disney film connected with a class Geology example and didn’t show physically improper substance. The energized film follows a group of pioneers on an experience to save a plant that is their general public’s wellspring of energy.
Many educators, understudies, and local area individuals swarmed the educational committee’s gathering Tuesday night to talk on the discussion and related state schooling arrangements, for example, the Parental Freedoms in Training Act or what pundits call the “Don’t Say Gay” regulation.
More than 100 individuals enrolled to talk during public remark and many shared their interests over the school region’s large quantities of instructor opportunities, with one secondary school understudy saying educators are “terrified to say anything that will get them terminated.”
“You want to pay attention to us when we say that the rainbow in our homeroom isn’t teaching us, seeing two young ladies together in a Disney film isn’t conditioning us, and your strategies are not safeguarding us from anything,” one more secondary school understudy said during the gathering.
