A Florida elementary school teacher is reportedly under investigation by the state Department of Education after she showed students a Disney movie that featured a gay character.

Jenna Barbee, a fifth grade teacher at Winding Waters in Hernando County, was reported by a students parent after screening the movie Strange World as a brain break in between students standardized testing, she said in a TikTok video Sunday .

Barbee said she thought the animated movie was perfect because her students had been studying earth science and ecosystems and the PG movie is about a family of explorers navigating an alien world. All of her students parents signed a consent form for their children to watch PG movies and she didnt think there would be an issue.

Is a character in the movie LGBTQ? Absolutely. Is that why I showed it? No, Barbee said. Im not pushing anything, just being accepting. Does that have anything to do with why I showed it? Not in the slightest. The LGBTQ aspect of the movie, theyre harmless, its just a talked-about crush and its only a couple lines.

A district representative confirmed to HuffPost Monday that the states DOE is investigating the incident but that it is not being referenced as indoctrination, as Barbee said she has been accused of.

DOE press secretary Cassie Palelis said the department cannot confirm or deny an investigation due to Florida statutes.

The Office of Professional Practices Services (PPS) receives a large volume of complaints regarding alleged misconduct of educators and follows a specific process to investigate these complaints, Palelis said in an email. PPS may investigate a matter to gather details and any additional information about the alleged misconduct. This does not mean there is any presumption of guilt during the fact-finding phase.
