Florida Teacher Defends Showing "Woke" Disney Movie Amid Investigation

A Florida teacher is under investigation for showing her fifth-grade class the Disney animated movie Strange World, which features a gay character. The teacher, Jenna Barbee, defended herself on social media, saying the film related to the curriculum and that she had signed permission slips from all parents. Barbee is being investigated for possible violations of the Parental Rights in Education Act, which bans teaching about gender and sexual identity to school students at all ages. The parent who reported her is a member of the right-wing group Moms for Liberty, which has been demanding books it describes as "smut" and "porn" be taken off library and school shelves.
