## Resource

A Florida math teacher, Mary Hazel Washburn, allegedly made a shocking political statement in her classroom last October—calling for Trump to be shot—sparking an official state investigation. Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas has filed formal charges, citing violations of state teaching standards and threatening to revoke her license. He emphasizes the need for educators to foster respectful, professional environments, especially when shaping young minds. This isn’t the first time Kamoutsas has acted on controversial classroom conduct, including incidents involving gender-neutral titles and a “Most Likely to Become a Dictator” award. The case underscores the ongoing debate over where personal expression ends and professional responsibility begins in schools. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
