State department investigation into the showing of a showing of Strange World a PG rated movie in science class. Welcome to the Don't Say Gay law.

Florida teachers and community members packed a Hernando County School Board meeting amid national furor over an investigation into a fifth grade teacher who showed a Disney movie in her classroom.
Jenna Barbee, a teacher at Winding Waters K-8, said Hernando County School Board member Shannon Rodriguez reported her to the Florida Department of Education for showing her students the 2022 movie "Strange World" – one of the first Disney films to have an openly LGBTQ character in a central role.
More than 100 people registered to speak during public comment, and many shared their concerns over the school district's high numbers of teacher vacancies. One high school student said teachers are "scared to say anything that will get them fired."
"You need to listen to us when we say that the rainbow in our classroom is not indoctrinating us, seeing two girls together in a Disney movie is not brainwashing us, and your policies are not protecting us from anything," another high school student said at the meeting.
Very soon, a simple shift in the wind direction will have people up in arms. That's the path we're on with all this reactionary madness. Turn down the volume on the emotions, and turn up the volume on the minds.
It is no wonder kids are flunking 3rd grade English. The teachers are more interested in woke brainwashing.
How about we teach nothing but Reading, Writing, and Rythmatic until the kids get that down pat in preparation for a successful life before we teach them anything else -- then follow that up with History, Science, and Geography.
Teach nothing else until every kid in the class has mastered all six subjects, and then you can move on to Art, Music, and Philosophy.
Somebody please explain what this Disney Movie has to do with Science Class? Is it teaching them Chemistry, Biology, or what?
Why is a science fiction movie being played in a science class?
We never watched movies when I was in school. If parents wanted their kids to watch movies, they would have kept them home and chose the movie for them to watch. Is this movie teaching anything about science?
I would have been upset too if that happened in my kid's school. Go parents!!!!
