It took three weeks for parents to discover that a transgender middle school teacher in Florida confessed to a guidance counselor that the teacher was having "bad thoughts" of self-harm and shooting students.

Now parents are demanding answers, accusing the district of a cover-up, and petitioning Florida's governor to remove certain members of the Hernando County School Board as well as the superintendent.

Ashlee Renczkowski, a biological male who presents as a female, is the teacher who allegedly made the comments while at the school on March 24.

Kerry Thornton is an assistant principal at Fox Chapel Middle School in Spring Hill, Florida, which is part of the Hernando School District.

According to a report filed with the Hernando County Sheriff's Office by Fox Chapel School Resource Officer Brian Timothy, Thornton alerted Timothy the afternoon of March 24 that Renczkowski "had just made concerning statements about self-harm and then possibly making statements about shooting students."

Thornton had visited Renczkowski in the classroom and asked how the teacher was doing, according to Timothy's report. Renczkowski replied, "Not good, I'm having bad thoughts." Thornton radioed for guidance counselor Kimberly Walby and brought Renczkowski to Walby's office.

Renczkowski told Walby about wanting "to shoot some students" because they weren't performing to their ability, according to the police report. Walby then said Renczkowski recanted the statement. But Walby also "began to reiterate that she has short-term memory issues" and was "starting to second-guess the conversation" when it came to "details and the order of events," according to Timothy's report.

Renczkowski also admitted to owning three handguns.

However, according to the risk protection order obtained by The Epoch Times"served upon the respondent" on March 28, signed by Renczkowski, and "filed in open court" on April 10it was determined by the HCSO that "the Respondent may be seriously mentally ill or may have recurring mental health issues."

Renczkowski was ordered to immediately surrender all firearms, ammunition, and "any license to carry a concealed weapon or firearm," and the document further ordered that Renczkowski may not possess, purchase, or receive any firearm or weapon for one year.

That's the sort of thing that can never be vague or ambiguous. Either you said you wish you could shoot students or you did not. Why would they ever try to interpret that comment any other way? Somebody or somebodies need to be fired over this

The counselor tried to weasel out of the situation by claiming memory loss , not the troony.
