BROOKSVILLE, Fla.—On March 24, a transgender teacher allegedly confessed to having thoughts of wanting to shoot students. As tension mounts in the aftermath of the incident, teachers are condemning parents for spreading “disinformation” and defending the actions of the superintendent.
According to a report filed with the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office, Ashlee Renczkowski “made concerning statements about self-harm and then possibly [made] statements about shooting students.” Renzcowski is a biological male teacher at Fox Chapel Middle School in Hernando County, Florida, who presents as a female. As previously reported by The Epoch Times, parents didn’t find out about the incident until the news was exposed by a local reporter two weeks later. During the April 11 Hernando County School Board meeting, angry parents demanded answers. They received excuses and denials.
