WHOA: ‘Pansexual’ Teacher Fired for Discussing Sexual Orientation With Kids

Florida lawmakers have been in the news lately for a new law prohibiting the discussion of sexual orientation in early elementary educational settings.

While critics have blasted the policy as anti-LGBT, supporters say the prohibition should be common sense.

Despite the intense focus on this topic across the state, one middle school art teacher reportedly injected her sexual orientation into a recent lesson plan.

As the New York Post reported, it resulted in her losing her job.

A Florida teacher claims she was fired for discussing her pansexual status with middle school students whom she then asked to draw pictures representing their own sexual orientations.

Cape Coral art instructor Casey Scott said her students were curious about her sexual orientation and she explained to them that she was pansexual during a lesson in March, NBC2 reported.

“A discussion happened in class and because of that, now I’m fired,” Scott told the outlet.

Pansexual refers to someone who is attracted to all categories of people regardless of their sex, gender identity or sexual orientation.

Many leftist activists believe young students should be exposed to explicit representations of alternative lifestyles and sexually themed material.

Nevertheless, it’s clear that plenty of Americans still believe such topics should be off limits — especially among kids in the earliest years of school.

Thats because most Americans agree that children in grades K-3 should not be discussing sex or sexuality in the classroom. https://t.co/qUVZFMlLsr

Seriously, I hadn't had time to read up on "Don't Say Gay" but that was really what it was about?
Holy shit, some of you actually wanted KINDERGARTEN KIDS to be taught sexual orientation and gender identity?
That's insanity! How was this even a debate?

Sooo… the same people outraged by a Florida bill they never read that didn't outlaw saying gay, but they called the "Don't say gay" bill… are now outraged by a Supreme Court decision they never read that doesn't outlaw abortion, but they say "outlaws abortion" …got it.

The reaction to Scott’s termination reflected similar opinions from numerous Twitter users.

Why do students of any age need to know what kind of sexual their teachers are? I got through all 12 grades and college and never knew that information, never needed to know it and never wanted to know it. That had nothing to do with the subjects I was there to study.

One concerned father weighed in on the troubling trend in a recent Fox News op-ed:

Parents don’t want gender ideology and critical race theory taught to their children. We want our children to learn how to read and write. The single biggest equalizer in history is literacy. Teach any child from any socio-economic background how to read and comprehend what they read and empower them to take control of their futures.

After two years of distance learning and years of politicizing our children’s education, parents are starting to question the motives of the public education system. Parents across this country have a desire to discuss how the education system, charged with teaching their kids, will fix the exposed learning deficiencies. But, do we hear anything about literacy remediation or literacy in general? No! Instead, we hear about gender fluidity and a curriculum built around ideologies and indoctrination.

For her part, Scott attempted to defend her behavior with media interviews like the one below.
