Subsequently, she was removed from her classroom, targeted by the state government under Governor Ron DeSantis, and ultimately terminated from her position. Despite these challenges, Donofrio fought to retain her teaching license and recently emerged victorious after a legal battle spanning several months.
An administrative judge upheld Donofrio’s stance, emphasizing her commitment to supporting minority students and condemning the hostile environment created by the flag’s removal.
With her teaching license now secure, Donofrio’s case stands as a testament to resilience in the face of adversity and a victory for educators advocating for social justice in schools.
