5th grade teacher grilled a girl about a rumor that she's gay in front of the entire class

A fifth grade teacher in Florida was given a verbal warning after she grilled an 11-year-old who was the subject of lesbian rumors in front of the entire class.

Jezenia Gambino, the mother of the girl who attends Northport K-8 in Port St. Lucie, told WPTV that it started with a rumor that her daughter was dating her friend, another girl in the same grade.

Eventually the girl’s teacher heard the rumor and decided that it would be appropriate to ask Gambino’s daughter about it in front of the entire class.

“She asked them if they were together if they were dating as a couple together and she asked them in a way that they felt they were in trouble,” Gambino said.

Her daughter didn’t tell her what was going on until she got a text message from the other girl saying that they shouldn’t be friends anymore so that people wouldn’t think that they’re gay.

1. I am from the next county over, all sorts of problems within

the PSL school district, a resource office seemingly out of the blue, body slammed a sixth grader on camera last year.
Hell when I was a teen, there was a middle school teacher from PSL that was present at a few of our beach bonfire parties, getting up to all kinds of nefarious deeds.

2. Sickening. Teacher should be fired and never teach again. Traumatizing for the little girls. For the

class, a terrible teaching moment they will not forget. Verbal warning?

3. 5th grade!

Something the matter with that teacher in addition to the homophobia.

4. There are still barbarians everywhere.

This is absolutely disgusting and the teacher should be fired.
