    “She is irreplaceable, not only a good teacher, but significantly more importantly she is the kindest and most caring person I have ever met in my life,” one supporter commented.

    “Kindness and caring have no place in the classroom” - conservatives probably

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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?

      A monster like that should be dragged into the street and shot!

    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. 🤔

    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.

    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.

    Bro wtf kind of a name is James Donald Bowman? Seriously, “Bow Man”? Dude can’t even lift a bow. 🤣 This is supposed to be a “Vice President”?

    We need people to find this couch-fucker and start saying “Yo, James, you couch-fucker!” and tell the journalist to start asking “Mr. Bowman, when is the last time you’ve held a bow?” 😂

      No, not bow as in “bow and arrow”. It’s bow as in “bow down and kiss my feet, little bitch!”
      When you look at it in the right context it is a perfect name for him.

    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.
