A teacher under investigation for showing a movie with LGBT themes to 10-year-olds said at a school board meeting that concerned parents may not love their children.
Teacher Jenna Barbee of the Hernando County, Florida School District is under investigation by the Florida Department of Education after showing “Strange World,” which features a gay character who has a crush on another man, in her classroom.
The teacher posted about the controversy on TikTok, accusing critics of trying to “get rid of every form of representation out of our schools.” Barbee said that she had signed permission slips from parents to show PG rated movies.

Barbee accused school board member Shannon Rodriguez of holding “outdated beliefs” during a May 9 school board meeting. She said Rodriquez was doing “her best to get me removed from the classroom for showing a Disney movie.”
“I tell my students every day that I love them cuz they don’t hear it at home. I pray Shannon’s child doesn’t end up being gay, because then she won’t hear it at home either. People like her are the problem.”
