Texas Teacher Resigns After Death Threats Over Video

Rosalyn Sandri, a transgender high school English teacher in Red Oak, Texas, resigned after a TikTok video celebrating her students' support of her pronoun change went viral, leading to significant backlash. The video, shared by the far-right account 'Libs of TikTok,' resulted in Sandri receiving death threats and hate mail, prompting Texas State Representative Brian Harrison to call for her dismissal. Sandri, who had felt supported by her school until then, resigned citing the safety of her students as her priority amidst the threats. The incident has sparked discussions about the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ educators in conservative regions. Despite Sandri's resignation, she expressed heartbreak over potentially ending her teaching career in Texas, a profession she aspired to since childhood.
