Thousands are signing a petition to try to help a teacher get her job back at Satellite High School.
Brevard Public Schools said it isn’t renewing Melissa Calhoun’s contract for next year because she called a student by the name they wanted to be called by, not their legal name.
I think the worst part about this story is that you know that kid’s parents are exactly the bigots you think they are, and now the child has learned a valuable lesson that they are completely alone, unloved, and no one will help them.
It’s terrible that Florida is doing this to teachers, but it’s worse for the kids.
This was my first thought, too. The kid found an advocate and a trusted person. So depressing
