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.
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
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.
Just when I thought Florida couldn’t get any dumber… damn, was I wrong.
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.
if a teacher pulls an angry freudian slip and yells at you, but calls you by the regular classroom troublemaker’s name by mistake, they can get fired?
Bart, no!
Welcome to the regressive fascist regime
Guys, everyone that read this, remember, Ted Cruz is his preferred name. His real name is Rafael. If you don’t want to get in trouble, make sure to call him Rafael every chance you get.
Rafael Edward Cruz, the Canadian-American, US Senator.
It’s lowkey appropriate that he was born in Alberta.
Another immigrant, taking senatorial jobs from hard-working Americans! Damn you, Rafael!
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?
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’ve reached the point where calling someone what they want to be called can cost you your job. Imagine getting fired for basic human decency. 🤔
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

No, not bow as in “bow and arrow”. It’s bow as in “bow down and kiss my feet, little bitch!”
When you look at it in the right context it is a perfect name for him.Maybe a “bowjob”,
Are teachers in Florida now required to call each student by their full legal name every time?
2 of the 14 kids in my sons class go by different names and have since kindergarten. They aren’t trans gender, they just use different names from the ones on the registration forms and birth certificates.
His is it any different. Also goddamn nicknames should be outlawed. That state is so fucked it’s not even funny anymore.
