A Florida public school teacher under fire for showing a film with a gay
character to her young students suggested that parents give up their
rights when they send them to public schools.

Jenna Barbee, a Hernando County fifth-grade teacher, defended her decision
to show her class the 2022 Disney animated film "Strange World" for an
earth science lesson. After parent and member of the school board Shannon
Rodriguez complained, however, the teacher is now being investigated by
the school district and state Department of Education for showing the film
with an openly gay character.

Rodriguez said at a recent school board meeting that the film "opens the
door" for teachers to have conversations with students that are
inappropriate for the classroom.

But Barbee argued that students are already having conversations about
same-sex relationships among themselves and on social media and that it
would be impossible for teachers to stop them. She said a parent's right
to shield their child from LGBTQ conversations is "gone" when that child
attends public school.

"What she’s missing and what these parents are missing, is they’re not in
the school system. That just shows me she’s ignorant and has not come and
volunteered at all," Barbee said on "CNN This Morning" on Tuesday. "These
conversations, these doors, they’re open. These students have one-to-one
devices. The amount of things they’re able to pull up that we have to shut
down – these conversations, these doors that she’s talking about – that’s
telling you I’m stripping her rights as a parent, those rights are gone
when your child is in the public school system because there are students
talking about these things."

"It’s where they get 90% of the socialization for the day. We can’t shut
down every conversation every child has," Barbee continued.

The elementary school teacher said the parent and school board member was
targeting her in tandem with Gov. Ron DeSantis' effort to rid public
schools of "diversity."

Last month, Florida's education board approved an expansion of the
Parental Rights in Education bill, which bans school employees or third
parties from giving classroom instruction on "sexual orientation" or
"gender identity." DeSantis signed the bill last year, which critics
dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill. The law was expanded to apply to K-12
grades.

"They're trying to strip individuality and diversity to fit one common
agenda. It’s ruining everything. It’s not what America stands for," Barbee
told CNN.

Denying that she was trying to "indoctrinate" students, the teacher
accused conservative parents and GOP leaders of indoctrinating children to
believe LGBTQ relationships are morally "wrong."

"What she’s saying is that we are indoctrinating by showing these things.
But actually we’re just showing a representation of our students that are
already there. Indoctrinating is going around and telling you [that] you
can’t do all these things. She is pushing the beliefs that all these
things are wrong, and that is indoctrinating," the teacher said,
referencing Rodriguez.

Barbee was also on CNN on Monday night. She told host Alisyn Camerota that
she knew there was a gay character in the film but didn't think it was a
big deal. She said she had "no idea" she might have been violating the
state education law.
