Florida Teacher on Leave Over Gender-Neutral Title

Florida Teacher on Leave Over Gender-Neutral Title

A Florida teacher is on administrative leave for using the gender-neutral title 'Mx.'

instead of 'Ms.'

or 'Mrs.'

The Attorney General got involved after receiving a complaint.

The teacher asked students and staff to address her as 'Mx.'

This term, which has been used since the 1970s and added to the dictionary in 2017, is like 'Mr.'

or 'Ms.'

for those who are non-binary.

The exact reason for the leave is unclear based on the information provided in the article.
