“Is a character in the movie LGBTQ? Absolutely. Is that why I showed it? No,” said teacher Jenna Barbee.
“I was told by every teacher and mentor at the school that our method for approval for showing movies was to have a signed parent permission slip for PG movies. I had that from the beginning of the year,” Barbee says. The permission slips specify “no objections to specific content.
school board member then went on to report Barbee to the Education Department for “indoctrination,” Barbee claims. “Is a character in the movie LGBTQ? Absolutely. Is that why I showed it? No,” Barbee says in the TikTok. “I have a lot of fifth grade students who have come to me this year long before showing this movie, talking about how they’re part of that community as well. And it’s not a big deal to me, so I just said ‘that’s awesome, do you,’ not pushing anything, just being accepting.” She continued, “That’s what I do. Does that have anything to do with why I showed it? Not in the slightest.
