A 5th-grade teacher from Florida is under investigation after showing children a pro-LGBT Disney movie. The elementary instructor then went on to CNN to attack school administrators and concerned parents, ranting, “Your rights as a parent, those rights are gone when your child is in the public school system.”
The Disney movie, “Strange World,” centers on two homosexual men, and its showing exists in a grey area of Florida’s new parent’s rights legislation, dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” by the left.
The instructor claimed to have received parental permission, though she allegedly only asked parents to approve a “PG” movie, with the movie’s name notably missing from the permission slip.
Responding to a parent complaint, the school board and administrators quickly prevented the teacher, Jenna Barbee, from putting ideological pressure on children per DeSantis’s regulations on gender/sex education for youths.

An apology has not been on Barbee’s agenda.
The disgraced teacher defended her actions, saying it tied into a lesson on “environment and ecosystems.” Barbee has gone to her local school board meeting and a series of TV interviews to attack the investigation against her. She even mentioned the faith of one of the school board members in her remarks, saying,
“A school board member, an elected official of power, who was supposed to be nonpartisan, is allowed to present to the public that she is Christian and that God appointed her to the board. And yet it is indoctrinated that I showed a Disney movie. I’m a first-year teacher.”
The school board member and complaint-filing parent, Shannon Rodriguez, responded to Barbee’s remarks and slammed her for “imposing” her beliefs on children.
“It is not a teacher’s job to impose their beliefs upon a child: religious, sexual orientation, gender identity, any of the above. But allowing movies such as this assist teachers in opening a door, and please hear me, they assist teachers in opening a door for conversations that have no place in our classrooms. As a leader in this community, I’m not going to stand by and allow this minority to infiltrate our schools … God did put me here.”

In TV interviews, Barbee has called parents “ignorant” for not understanding the need to play pro-LGBT Disney movies in class.

If the teacher is found to have shown the children “non-age-appropriate” content relating to gender, then Barbee will likely lose her teaching license.
Parents and onlookers have slammed Barbee for not just showing the movie, but for the “excuses” she gave on TV interviews for her behavior.
“No one is asking this teacher to shut down every conversation a child has. What is being asked is to not spark these conversations for 10 year olds by exposing them to movies with gay subject matter.” ~@AdamInHTownTX on Twitter
The Florida State Department of Education is still in the midst of its investigation and will be arriving at the school today to ask witnesses about the event.
