Results: Nonbinary teacher at Florida school fired for using 'Mx.' as courtesy title

The statute states that every public K-12 educational institute must operate under the understanding that a person's sex is biological and unchangeable. As such, employees may not provide pronouns that do not align with their biological sex. The law went into effect in July 2023 after Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB1069, which is considered an expansion of the 2022 "Don't Say Gay" bill. A lawsuit on behalf of Family Equality and Florida families challenging the 2022 bill went to an appeals court in March 2023 after a Florida judge dismissed the original suits for not showing direct harm from the bill. In general, do you agree that employees may not provide pronouns that do not align with their biological sex?

On Oct. 24, science teacher AV Vary was terminated from Florida Virtual School, after refusing to change the courtesy title used on school materials and communications from "Mx." to "Ms.," "Mrs." or "Miss." Vary is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. Public schools around the country have struggled to hire teachers, with science being a subject area that has been difficult to staff. In Florida, general science and physical science constituted two of the eight areas with "high demand teacher needs" for the 2023-2024 schoolyear. Do you agree with the teacher being fired due to not using Ms, Mrs, Miss etc?
