TL;DR Summary
A Florida teacher is under investigation by the state's Department of Education after she showed her students a Disney movie that features a gay character. The movie, Strange World, was shown to fifth-grade students and focuses on humans' relationship to the environment. The Hernando County School District and the state are investigating the matter, and the district has informed parents that the movie will not be shown in the future. The investigation comes after a parent complained about the movie, which may violate Florida's "Parental Bill of Rights," a law signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis last year.
