Pine View is the public magnet for gifted students in Osprey.
Uthmeier’s Office of Parental Rights wrote in a letter on Monday that Ballard “routinely discusses political topics” and that the student told her his parents “expressly forbid” him from those debates.
The letter states Ballard "harassed, disparaged and deliberately tried to ‘cancel’ an eighth-grade student for his conservative views."
I sent a letter to Sarasota Schools after a Pine View teacher allegedly labeled an 8th grader a “misogynist” based on his political affiliation, ignored his parents’ wishes, and disparaged the child’s father.
If true, she should be fired and never teach in Florida again. pic.twitter.com/2yRnlA6k7i

Despite the parents' request, Ballard allegedly kept putting him up as “the conservative perspective in the classroom,” the letter says, and “pressured him to defend political positions on demand in front of his classmates.”
Uthmeier says that Ballard called the boy a misogynist, “spread this label around the school, and openly questioned the suitability and influence of the student’s father.”
He called the targeted harassment “the reputational destruction of a child” and said it would violate Florida law, board policy, and at least six principles of professional conduct.
Multiple parents had already opened HR files on her, Uthmeier wrote.

Yep.
Yup.
Never attribute to stupidity, what can be explained by leftist malice.
It's subtle in how each instance is done, but the effect is enormous over time. They've indoctrinated the entire country this way for decades. It's no wonder things are as screwed up as they are.
If my nephew had an a-hole like THAT as his teacher Id go to the school right now and rip her a new ass, PERIOD
Prosecute her!
“A leftist “eddikator” has nothing to do whatsoever with “education”.
Fire them.
Kick them out.
Forbid them to come within 1,000 feet of any school.
Under penalty of death.
Really, they are that vile.”
Sort of treating them like they are a GUN !!
The key here is that he is running for re-election; and that the teacher is in a union.
2 diametrically opposed positions.

That reminds me of a 5-minute CBS radio news report I heard years ago. It was during the Clinton impeachment fiasco, a court had ruled in Clinton’s favor (later to be overturned by the Supreme Court). The report was factual, but they added just one word that made it into an editorial...
The word was “fortunately”.
Sure sounds like it!
I knew Hank....he was FABULOUS!
“Never attribute to stupidity, what can be explained by leftist malice.”
Quite so.
Leftism is narcissism.
