“In April, we saw Brevard Public Schools fire AP Satellite High School teacher Melissa Calhoun for using an affirming name for a 17-year-old trans student, the name by which they had been known since middle school. Now, as reported from records obtained by Finch Walker of Florida Today, we see that BPS is contemplating ways to punish students themselves for using their own preferred/nicknames on written class assignments.” (Orlando Sentinel, 6/1/2025)
