Florida Teacher Under Investigation for Showing Disney Film with Gay Character

A fifth-grade teacher in Florida is being investigated by the state's Department of Education for showing her students Disney's "Strange World," which features an openly gay character, during a "brain break" from standardized testing. The teacher, Jenna Barbee, said she had already submitted her resignation from the school a week before showing the movie because of "politics and the fear of not being able to be who you are" in Florida public schools. The incident has become the latest flashpoint in the national debate over how students learn, with lawmakers in nearly every state proposing laws designed to limit what teachers can say about race, racism, and American history.
