“Brevard Public Schools (BPS) was made aware that a teacher at Satellite High School had been referring to a student by a name other than their legal name, without parental permission when the parent reached out to us. This directly violates state law and the district’s standardized process for written parental consent.
“BPS supports parents’ rights to be the primary decision-makers in their children’s lives, and Florida law affirms their right to be informed.
Cruel, vindictive, inhumane and depraved control by the parents. The child is in danger and now knows that even trusted adults can’t be trusted when their parents go digging. Without a doubt the child is being verbally abused for daring to control their own identity.
Disgusting law, disgusting people and disgusting country.
Great. Now nicknames will be illegal. No more Max or Jim or Bill. It’s either Maximillian or James or you’re fired (and no one cares about poor ol’ Bill).
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.
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!
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
Imagine if she said Palestinians deserve to live.
A monster like that should be dragged into the street and shot!
/s cause I’m certain there are real monsters who believe the above.
Yeah there’s a bunch of them in the Knesset
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.
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

Are teachers in Florida now required to call each student by their full legal name every time?
Teachers, like all employees, are expected to follow the law.
No. If a law is unjust and immoral it is the imperitive of everyone at the district to disobey it.
Just because it is law, does not make it right.
