Some kids go by a nickname that is not either their first name or middle name. Is this now illegal in florida? What if a boy wants to be called Tony instead of Antonio?

@trollslayer I wouldn't. In a state that is actively trying to erase LGBTQ from even being mentioned in schools I would not want a physical list that would identify my child as a possible member.

@trollslayer Further, in abusive households - school can be a respite. Having to get permission from a bigoted parent for a teacher to refer to you with a nickname erases that chance at respite.

@ViciDraco that’s basically my point. I would have no problem with it, and if there was a problem with it that is a huge red flag for an abusive household. If my child did not want to tell me, i would feel like a failure as a parent.

It’s all gotten very litigious. If a teacher so much as sneezes in Florida now, someone’s got a clipboard and a lawyer on speed dial!

Listening to children and treating them as human beings rather than hitting them . . I guess that does not go down well with conservatives.

Did she break a law or something ?

@AthrillatheHunt Florida Statute 1000.071 mandates parental consent for the use of alternative names

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Not that it's not a good idea, it is but the parents are the ones who are the reason for getting the teacher fired. So I have a feeling that the student's parents are bigots, a permission slip wouldn't work
The media machine is obviously struggling, failure to evolve

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow But they are the party of free speech and individual liberty... 🙄
Sounds like clickbait fake news
@NativePortlander1970 No, it is entirely consistent with your far right ideology. But you will make any excuse to gaslight everyone.

The sky is green because Donny Dum Dum says so.
@NativePortlander1970 To right wingers fake news = they hurt my feelings.
