In a widely shared video, a Florida preschool teacher explained how she empowers her pupils to select their families. She denied any connection between her teachings and her “queerness.” She claimed to be teaching her students how to identify as gay.
Louder with Crowder said that the video was shared by Dede Duffy, who goes by the name Watr.Bug on TikTok and has about 17,000 fans.
Reportedly working as a teacher at a preschool in Cape Coral, Florida, Duffy discussed the idea of “chosen families” while driving. She said that because she didn’t feel loved enough as a child, she teaches her young pupils to believe that they should love their circle of friends even more than their own parents.
Duffy said, “I feel as though I had to learn about chosen families at a very young age. This had nothing to do with me being gay, it was just because I didn’t get the love that I required at home. I recognized I was important and also deserved it, so I got it myself early on. I should not be blamed for this since blood still exists.”
At that point, Duffy lost control and launched into an angry tirade about how much she hated her family and how miserable she was: “You were never around for me, and I’ve found my own love, and that’s perfectly fine, and I believe that everyone needs to be permitted to do that, and that is what I teach inside my classroom, okay?” she said. “I always tell them to give it to their friend instead of their mother, because f**k their mother! I don’t know why, but I’ve been feeling so sad. I’m so sad, and I truly hate my sister because she’s such a c***.”
The last part of the video displayed the teacher inside a classroom with too much makeup and a description that said, “The only thing that these Florida kids are being taught from me is how to be gay.”
