Teacher Fired for Classroom Political Outburst | Annapolis News

A Florida math teacher, Mary Hazel Washburn, is facing potential permanent loss of her teaching license after allegedly telling students in October that former President Trump “deserves a bullet through the head.” The state’s Department of Education says her comment violated professional standards by introducing political violence into the classroom, making students uncomfortable and failing to maintain a respectful learning environment. Though Washburn admitted the remark during an internal district review and resigned the day after being recommended for firing, state officials now must decide whether to impose disciplinary action — including revoking her teaching certificate — as a stark reminder of the boundaries educators are expected to uphold.
