FL Enacts Slate of Hate as ‘God-Appointed’ Board Member Freaks Over Disney Film
5th-grade teacher resigns after showing students a Disney movie a board member described as “sexualizing,” claiming God appointed her to the board to keep minorities from “infiltrating.”
[Florida Governor Ron] DeSantis has just signed into law the largest slate of anti-LGBTQ bills in one legislative session in the state’s history. This is an all out attack on freedom. Free states don’t strip parents of the right to make healthcare decisions for their children. Free states don’t ban books, censor curriculum, or muzzle free speech. DeSantis doesn’t see freedom as a value worth defending.
— Joe Saunders, Senior Political Director of Equality Florida, from a statement yesterday
What’s it like to live in a theocracy run by extremist Christians with delusions of divinity? If you’d like to find out, try moving to Florida. Or just ask fifth-grade teacher Jenna Barbee. She recently played a Disney movie for students while their classmates finished up some standardized testing.
The kids were doing a unit on Earth sciences and ecosystems, so Barbee played the 2022 animated film “Strange World,” which addresses those topics.
