“It’s been more than a year since a Brevard teacher was ousted for using a high school student’s chosen name without parental permission. The former teacher has since been OK’d by the state to return to the classroom, an arbitrator said she was wrongly reprimanded and the student — at the time, a senior also enrolled at Eastern Florida — has graduated. Still, the case continues to drag on, now focusing on a second teacher’s job and teaching license.” (USA Today, 4/21/2026)
