“She is irreplaceable, not only a good teacher, but significantly more importantly she is the kindest and most caring person I have ever met in my life,” one supporter commented.
“Kindness and caring have no place in the classroom” - conservatives probably
Conservatives, absolutely. They see empathy as a weakness.
Probably because the most powerful conservatives all got to grow up in abusive boarding schools that disfigured their souls, deleted their empathy, and taught them how to savagely bully their way into power, humanity be damned.

My mom’s (teacher) old boss (principal) literally told her that she shouldn’t even know what the kids do after they leave school, basically saying she shouldn’t care about the kids.
Like why the fuck else do you become a teacher?!
But guns sure do!
I remember when I was in school and teachers would ask each kid on day 1 how they would prefer to be named. This was in the 80s and 90s. In Texas.
There was nothing wrong with it then, nor is there anything wrong with it now.
What has changed is the vitriol and hate that has erupted against our trans brothers and sisters.
My stereotypical old guy class teacher in rural Hungary who was a local prominent party member of Orbán’s party and a devout Christian had no problems with that either.
This has never been a problem.
this could be the backstory of your username, my name is Barry Cuda ms Roberts
I spent my entire 9th grade (1991) as Kevin. My name is not, nor resembles, Kevin. 🤷♂️
Shut up kevin
Kevin, you’re such a disease
Sure thing, Kevin
Such a Kevin thing to say.
That’s so Kevin…
Banana.
I ask everybody what they prefer to be called and how they pronounce it if it’s not clear to me. It’s just polite.
It’s just polite.
And so MAGAs hate it. Politeness is weakness! Be rude and hostile always!
But also never ever insult them! They have feelings too, ya know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Absolutely. Until I was in my 20s everyone I knew referred to me by a nickname. Everyone I’ve known since before that time still does. The only purpose behind this is to target a vulnerable group for cruelty.

Damn.
She should leave Gilead and join us up here in Canada. Staple the news article to her immigration paperwork. It’s a badge of honour. How can you all have pride in a country that does this shit? Stay safe down there!
Staple it to job applications too. I suspect many blue state and private schools would see it as a commendation.
It’s not great in blue areas either, just minus the sht like Florida is doing. But they are generally underpaid in general, in the west had a former coworker refuse a contract with a district because the pay is very low, like starting 25k in a 5-7year contract, and no choice of districts.
Private school are worst, you may or may not work some.weeks.
Great. Now nicknames will be illegal. No more Max or Jim or Bill. It’s either Maximillian or James or you’re fired (and no one cares about poor ol’ Bill).
I think the worst part about this story is that you know that kid’s parents are exactly the bigots you think they are, and now the child has learned a valuable lesson that they are completely alone, unloved, and no one will help them.
It’s terrible that Florida is doing this to teachers, but it’s worse for the kids.
This was my first thought, too. The kid found an advocate and a trusted person. So depressing
Just when I thought Florida couldn’t get any dumber… damn, was I wrong.
Jesus fucking Christ. When I was in middle school in the southern Midwest, on the first day of school I had the teachers straight up ask if anyone had a preferred name other than the one on their records. Unprompted. And no one gave a shit.
She have a fund we can donate too?
So we can’t call people “Jim” “Liz” “Bob” “Sam” anymore?
Of course not. They are Jimothy, Lizothy, Bobothy, and Samothy, as was ordained by Christ himself
Especially Bob. What kind of name is Bob? Is that what he does when he encounters a glory hole? Bob?
America is a broken country
The worst thing though is that you spread your poison to the rest of the world too
There are cunts in many countries salivating at the opportunity to be cruel, and (wrongly) the world still looks at the US as an example
Decent people see it as a warning
I agree America is broken and there are far too many broken people within its borders, but I’d have to state that Russia and Israel have also done a bang up job whipping up that poison.
The bonus is that they are working on that elsewhere too.
I go by my middle name. Not because I wanted to, but because that is what my immediate family chose. I became comfortable with it. So I decided in certain settings to let people use my first name.
99% of my extended family doesn’t know my first name. Some of them are teachers. If I had been in their class, they’d be in trouble. Fucking stupid law.
Fucking stupid

Florida is purposefully trying to destroy it’s own public school system. They make being a public school teacher so undesirable, and then complain about a “teacher shortage”. Of course nobody wants to be a public school teacher in Florida. You can get fired for how you address someone?
Welcome to the regressive fascist regime
Teachers, like all employees, are expected to follow the law.
No. If a law is unjust and immoral it is the imperitive of everyone at the district to disobey it.
Just because it is law, does not make it right.
I wonder if this law was written to target transgender students but instead it’s now affecting cis gender kids who can’t go by their nick name any more and now teachers are losing their jobs for using nick names on their students they prefer.
Transphobia also affects cis people just like how homophobia can affect straight people because they recieve harassment if they’re mistaken as gay like how my brother faced racism by his math teacher because she thought he was Native.
This would be leopards eating faces if the teacher voted this in and the parents who are protesting.
Knew a straight guy who got beaten almost to death because two fascist chuds thought he was gay. Only survived because one of his buddies at the gig he was working that night noticed he didn’t make it back to the hotel after, could have easily just bled out overnight over nothing. When you decide to amplify hateful and violent ideology, it creates a hateful and violent world.
