I’m a Teacher in Florida. The Anti-LGBTQ Rules Are Making the Job Nearly Impossible.
Slate ^ | Oct 28, 2022 | Abigail McLeod

As a sixth-grade public school teacher in Florida, I’ve come to expect the worst from Gov. Ron DeSantis and his Department of Education. The governor’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill put a target on the back of LGBTQ students and teachers: It outlaws “classroom instruction” on sexual orientation or gender identity (whatever that is) in grades K-3 and severely limits it in grades 4-12. That was bad enough. But this fall, the situation got worse. Previously, if a parent accused us of violating the Don’t Say Gay law, they could sue the school district. Now the Department of Education has declared that teachers who violate the law will lose our educator’s certificate. That means losing our jobs.

And that’s not all. Another new rule forces schools to notify parents about any bathrooms that aren’t separated by sex assigned at birth. This policy will out kids by informing parents if there is a trans student using the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity. A third rule requires classroom libraries to be cataloged in a searchable database so parents will know every book that is available. While this may sound innocuous, it is not in a state with one of the highest rates of public school library books banned in the country.

How in the world are teachers supposed to navigate this? The answer is, in constant fear of getting fired for failing to discriminate as much as the Florida government wants. For the first time in my nine-year career as a public school teacher, I’m seriously thinking about quitting. And I am not alone: hundreds of thousands of Florida students started school last year without a permanent teacher while the state has struggled to fill thousand of openings.

Good, go. Schools don't need to be force feeding children about gayness.

Exactly. Focus on actual education like teachers did in the 1970s.

Don’t let the door knob hit you.

This groomer shouldn’t be anywhere near children.

How’s Abigail doing on that readin’, writin’, rithmetic stuff? Could someone please wake her up from her LGBQFOAD dream and tell her that is supposed to be what she’s paid for?

If you need to talk about your sex life or discuss sexual preferences at school on the job you chose the wrong profession.

The "Over the Hill" party can't start until You're seen going over the hill and far away.

Reading. Writing. Arithmetic.

I don't really understand where sodomy fits into your basic elementary education.

If it’s making the job impossible, you are probably doing the wrong kind of job in the first place.
These kids need academics and general social skills.
They don’t need to spend all day contemplating the groins of their teachers. That’s beyond inappropriate.

Let me say this about that:


Losing your jobs wouldn't be enough. Y'all should be thrown in jail. That's what happens to parents who "misgender" their kids. Go get a teaching job in Southern Croatia where you can Crimea River.

What I’m hearing here is that all teachers in Florida are homosexuals and for some reason homosexual teachers believe THEIR sex life should be part of the curriculum. They aren’t teachers, They’re idiots. Their lives revolve around their sex lives.
