Plasmodium Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I thought this is probably a situation where they investigate all complaints and there was a complaint from some irrational nut job. Then I saw the complainant is a school board member, so truly sad and pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJB Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 predictable that the pendulum swings both ways especially with silliness... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 How does "don't exist while gay" enter into the issue with the teacher? mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what is happening...it was a whacko nut job that is on the school board who had a kid in the class...that person is the one who complained and initiated an "investigation". Another example of people taking an extreme case of a single whacko and extrapolating it across the whole state and education system to meet a political agenda and narrative (not you Plasi...in this case).

The teacher is currently being investigated by the Florida Department of Education based on this complaint. It's literally the first sentence in the article.

The person on the board is a whacadoodle and that is why it is being "investigated"...and procedurally they probably have to since there was technically a complaint.
