The virtual school says its hands are tied due to Florida’s “don’t say gay” law. However, the teacher has lodged a complaint against it.
“I was told that professor was not okay, Dr. was not okay for me because I didn’t have a Ph.D., but there are lots of people at FLVS who do use Dr., which, coincidentally, is also in violation of the same law I got disciplined for,” Vary said. They were told the other acceptable courtesy titles were Mrs., Ms., or Miss. Using “teacher” was also out of the question.“
“We’re going to refuse every attempt at compromise, and force you to choose between abandoning your principles or your career. Why? Because we’re bastards. Fuck you.”
Serious question, though: how does one pronounce Mx.?
Or get rid of these titles altogether, they don’t serve much of a purpose and I stopped using them a long time ago.
No why would we force or encourage other people to NOT use their preferred titles. If there are no practical downsides, just let people do what they want.
I don’t know, feels kinda weird if my kids were calling their teacher by their first name. I don’t have a powerful argument to back this up I admit. Guess it really doesn’t matter so it is just a preference on my part.

There has to be someone with the last name of Tape using this somewhere right.

Remembers me of something we’ve already heard, at least in EU, a couple of years ago.
Nothing says “small government” quite like being fired from your job because of your name.
Small government for rich, white land business owners.
Big brother for everyone else.
Seems like a first amendment violation to me, but then again I’m not a Bible thumping fascist

Never fear, those “conservatives” who are such responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars will gladly waste them to defend any forthcoming lawsuits.

After being denied Teacher, Professor, or Dr. as the title (the last because they did not have a PhD even though evidently others in the school go by Dr. without a PhD without discipline). And note that “Mr.” was apparently not an option?
The school’s hands weren’t tied. They appear enthusiastic.
