The Lee County School District hasn't confirmed the name of the teacher. However, spokesperson Rob Spicker said the instructor is suspended with pay pending reassignment to the district office.

According to WFTV, another Florida teacher was under investigation in October after she was caught on camera saying that she has a right to "dislike Black people" because she was attacked by a gang on a train as a teen.

In 2019, yet another instructor in the state was removed from First Coast High School after scolding students over the national anthem, as Blavity previously reported.

"You are all extremely lucky to be living in the U.S.A.,” Daniel Goodman wrote on a whiteboard. “If you refuse to stand during the Pledge of Allegiance or our National Anthem, are you revealing your maturity and wisdom? Actually, you are displaying the opposite (as some pampered arrogant celebrities and athletes tend to do) — Mr. G.”
