Florida teachers and community members packed a Hernando County School Board meeting Tuesday amid national furor over an investigation into a fifth-grade teacher who showed a Disney movie in her classroom.
Jenna Barbee, a teacher at Winding Waters K-8, alleged earlier this month that Hernando County School Board member Shannon Rodriguez reported her to the Florida Department of Education for showing her students the 2022 movie “Strange World” – one of the first Disney films to have an openly LGBTQ+ character in a central role.
