Thousands are signing a petition to try to help a teacher get her job back at Satellite High School.
Brevard Public Schools said it isn’t renewing Melissa Calhoun’s contract for next year because she called a student by the name they wanted to be called by, not their legal name.
That’s the first thing that came to mind for me too. Is every parent of a “Mike” signing off on the teacher calling them that instead of “Michael?” What about a school nickname, like one based on a jersey number for football players? This is entirely to make trans kids feel alienated, and it’s fucking monstrous.
