NEWS FLASH

Florida Teacher Accused Of Turning Student Into Lesbian | A principal at Deerfield Beach High School in Broward County, Florida investigated teacher Juliet Hibbs on charges that she converted a student into a lesbian. The student received harassing text messages from her stepfather when he learned she was gay, which Hibbs reported as child abuse and cyberbullying. The student was 18, and per the advice of an abuse counselor, did not return home. The parents complained to the principal that somehow Hibbs was responsible, and though no action was taken, she claims her career “has been ruined” by the investigation. Several other teachers have complained that the principal, Jon Marlow, engages in intimidating teacher mistreatment.
