A Florida teacher claims she was fired for discussing her pansexual status with middle school students whom she then asked to draw pictures representing their own sexual orientations.
Cape Coral art instructor Casey Scott said her students were curious about her sexual orientation and she explained to them that she was pansexual during a lesson in March, NBC2 reported.
“A discussion happened in class and because of that, now I’m fired,” Scott told the outlet.(snip)
Scott, who is married to a man, said the kids at Trafalgar Middle School then created flags representing their own sexuality and gender identities ranging from transgender and non-binary to gay.
The first-year teacher posted their creations to her classroom door before administrators told her to take them down.
“They said it would be in the best interest if I got rid of them now,” she told NBC.
Scott said she crumpled up the pictures and put them in the trash.
Lee School District officials said some students understood her explanation of her sexuality while others were left confused, the local NBC affiliate reported.
The subject matter angered some parents and students who wrote to administrators to voice their displeasure, officials said.
Scott, who was working on a probationary basis and not part of the teachers union, was eventually told not to return to campus and that her contract was being terminated.

Don’t let her near your dog.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
I'd be concerned if she was around my pet snake.
You're being funny, right? Or is that like when people inside a bubble have no idea they are in a bubble?
Oklahoma! It even has a panhandle.
Home on the range!
We're not in Kansas anymore.

Using "sexual orientation" instead of "sexual preference" is woke New York Post.
“A discussion happened in class and because of that, now I’m fired,” Scott told the outlet.
Maybe that's because you're supposed to discuss art in art class and not your sexual perversions.
Very well deserved firing - outrageous such a discussion would occur with school age children. If I was one of the parents I would also sue her.
Gosh ... How terribly, terribly sad .... Not.
I teach an after-school class for gifted students for our local Catholic diocese. Engineering on Monday, robotics on Wednesday, advanced math on Friday. I would NEVER discuss ANYTHING sexual with students. If one of them asked what my sexual orientation is, I’d say, “None of your business,” even though I’m as straight as a steel ruler.
I always spend the last five minutes of class with a special feature: “Ask Me Anything.” These kids can ask me anything, about anything. Only three subject areas are off limits: sex, politics and religion. This feature of my classes has proven to be VERY popular, despite those three “cordoned off” subjects.
This crude, rude insistence on discussing weird sexuality, which appears to be shared by almost all public school teachers, is something that has to be stopped at the federal level, by appropriate legislation. Unfortunately, it would never survive Biden’s veto, even after we take back both the House and Senate this November. This is going to have to wait until January 2025.
It’s going to be a very long, very bumpy 2-1/2 years .... fasten your safety belts ... severe turbulence ahead.
A pronoun that defines a person with a mental illness.
with what? cookware? Where does she keep the spoons?
Pan Sexual? What…. do they do it with chimps?
LOL!
“...said the kids at Trafalgar Middle School then created flags representing their own sexuality and gender identities ranging from transgender and non-binary to gay.”
Not allowed for anyone to be straight in “her” class?
(Isn’t “her” so binary?)
fast enough...
Good. One less groomer in Florida schools.
