No, that’s not Ursula, the Sea Witch. It’s Kelly Hendrix, a Florida middle school teacher who was just suspended from her job for allegedly asking students if they were gay then threatening to get them in trouble if they told on her.
Four middle schoolers from Southside Middle School in Jacksonville, FL told school district investigators that Hendrix enjoyed picking on the kids in her class. There was one student in particular who she often targeted, calling him a “dumb ass,” “gay” and “retarded.”

The students said the science teacher would also ask them inappropriate questions, including “Are you gay?” and “How do you know you’re not attracted to the female body?”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But it didn’t stop there.
Hendrix also allegedly told the kids stories about the time she made out with and had sex with another teacher at the school. (Gross!) And once she went so far as to call a girl’s father to tell him she believed his daughter was a lesbian. (Seriously, who is this woman?!)
After investigating the case, school district officials suspended Hendrix for 15 days without pay. But the longtime teacher insists she has done absolutely nothing wrong. In fact, she was trying to protect the kids from bullying.
“I called the boy outside and I said to the boy, I said, ‘What’s going on?’ And he said, ‘Kids are calling me gay,’ and I looked at him and said, ‘Well, are you gay?’ And he said, ‘No,’ and I said, ‘Well why does that bother you?'” she told her local news station.
Hendrix also said she believes she is the victim of an elaborate vendetta plot cooked up by one her 12-year-old students who was upset with her.

She is a stupid person. The kids would be better off without her example in the class room. Think how lucky we were with our teachers!

I think it’s really Sally Kirkland doing research for a role.

Now c’mon…. Who in their right mind would have sex with…. that? Really? The school needs to fire her, not suspend her for a few weeks. She is out of line to interrogate her students. Yes I said interrogate. She has no right to ask personal questions like that. If she was my teacher I’d probably knock what few teeth she does have out. IMO if a teacher (or any adult) is asking a teenager questions like that, I’d have them investigated because that seems like they are a borderline pedophile. She’s either some weird old pervert or she’s one of those “holier-than-thou” Christians who think they have the right to tell us how to live. It’s really sad though… Only God can judge me for being Gay. I feel sorry for all her students because it’s only a matter of time before she causes one of them to commit suicide.

Some of the comments here seem to imply that being gay is something shameful that should be hidden and never discussed.

Probably can’t fire her because of teachers union sigh

“How do you know you’re not attracted to the female body?” Wow, she really is in dire need for attention, her appearance does not help her any. If she asked me I would tell her “My willy falls asleep and hangs downward away from a female body. If it is a good looking hot guy, however, my willy stands at attention and points upward.” :>)
dubstepskater
@Merv: Not saying that it’s something shameful. Just saying she doesn’t have the right to force gays to be public about it. What we do (and who we do it with) isn’t nobody’s bizz. I got outed by a student 2 years ago when I was a senior in high school. He overheard me tell one of my friends (who knew I was gay) that I thought her brother (in college) was hot. The student’s dad was our Principle and when he told him (because apparently it was so important), the Principle made a few comments to me about AIDS and how gay lifestyles are immoral and disgusting. Within a few weeks, there was many students who bullied me and even wrote horrible threats and taped it to my locker. When my parents came to talk to the Principle about these threats, he simply made the comment that “You know how kids are… I can’t punish everyone. Don’t worry, I’m sure this will pass.” Then he suggested that I may “have brought it on myself”. Brought it on myself? Really? What a joke! He was a person of authority and acted like bullying a gay person wasn’t a big deal. I transferred to a different district. My parents hired a lawyer and the School System eventually fired him. Some people thought it was stupid to cost him his job since I no longer went to his school, but what about all the future gay students. It is his responsibility to ensure that every student (not just the straight ones) have a safe school to learn. I was lucky, I could have been hurt badly or killed.
I am now in college and I don’t advertise my lifestyle but I don’t deny it either. It’s just I don’t think this teacher (or anyone) has the right to force a student to publicly come out.
Ron King
Keep her evil church of the poison mind….away from children!
Realitycheck
There seem to be some thing seriously wrong with this woman,
even the things she said in her defense seem to be very odd,
she has no business being a teacher and around kids, lets hope
the 2 week investigation reveals enough to have her fired from her
job.
Bad enough for gay kids to be harassed from other kids, but to have
a nutcase teacher on their back makes everything worse.

Calling her Ursula would be an insult to Ursula.

She looks the principle that screamed at all the black students at graduation. Does Walmart put out a prototype bigoted white woman?

I think she’s suspended while the engage in some fact-finding and due process. But if any of this is true, she needs to be fired.
Craig Marker
Lots of hyperbole here. I’ll wait until the facts come out.

Wretched woman I agree fire her.

The only thing she taught her students is that she is qualified to be a teacher.
Giancarlo85
People have already said “only suspended?!?!?”. I echo those feelings. What business does she have saying any of those things to her students? What the hell is wrong with her? A teacher is supposed to protect students from bullying and this one was doing the bullying herself. And it appears it got so bad even other students had enough of it.
Christopher Walshaw
Suspended?!She should be fired for mental child abuse!
Bryan Beard
Because, Florida! An-Ex science teacher, maybe?
Mark Pointon
Hello, REVOLTING…
Ridpathos
As a middle school science teacher myself, if the things she is accused of are true, then I am okay with the suspension, but keep in mind, that it isn’t that strange for a middle school student with a vendetta to cook up a plot like this.
One small thing you say can be twisted into something else by a student who really wants to get you fired. I’m open about being gay with my students. Why hide something that other teachers don’t have to hide? But I wouldn’t be surprised if a student who didn’t like me turned “I have a boyfriend” into “He told us he has sex with men.”
I get accused EVERY YEAR of racism by kids and parents simply because a black kid did something against the rules and I held them accountable for it. If a kid hates you, they can ruin your career. This is why teacher tenure is so important, so that administrators are required to gather the facts before dismissing a teacher.

And all she got WAS suspended …. ?

Of course this happened in Florida …

Although this is one article and obviously one side of the issue, if it is true she should be fired.

yeah, Jeb Bush honed his talents there with people like this
Shirley Coetzee
I agree with Jonathan Smith. If true she should be fired but only if it is true. It would not be the first time a teacher was wrongfully accused.
