Originally Published 2 years ago — by WFLA
A fifth-grade teacher in Hernando County is under investigation for showing the Disney movie "Strange World" in class without approval from school leadership. The film features a gay teenager, which sparked concern for a parent and school board member. The teacher admitted to making a mistake by not seeking approval but didn't think the film would cause controversy. The school district has since told parents the movie will no longer be shown in classrooms, and an investigation will determine if further action is required against the teacher.
