Thousands are signing a petition to try to help a teacher get her job back at Satellite High School. Brevard Public Schools said it isn’t renewing Melissa Calhoun’s contract for next year because she called a student by the name they wanted to be called by, not their legal name.

    I go by my middle name. Not because I wanted to, but because that is what my immediate family chose. I became comfortable with it. So I decided in certain settings to let people use my first name.

    99% of my extended family doesn’t know my first name. Some of them are teachers. If I had been in their class, they’d be in trouble. Fucking stupid law.
