Florida Teacher Investigated for Showing Disney Movie with Gay Character in Classroom

A Florida teacher is under investigation by the state's Department of Education for showing the Disney movie Strange World, which includes an LGBTQ+ character, to her class. The teacher, Jenna Barbee, says all parents had signed permission slips allowing the showing of PG-rated movies "with no objections to specific content." Barbee chose the movie as it relates to the curriculum about Earth science and ecosystems. The school board member who reported Barbee said it is not a teacher's job to impose their beliefs upon a child.
