- A teacher in Virginia, Sabrina Morris, has been placed on administrative leave after posting a social media image showing a rainbow-colored handgun aimed at a person's head alongside the message "PUT THE PRONOUNS BACK IN THE EMAIL."
- The Danville Public Schools district launched an internal investigation and has notified local law enforcement; Morris is prohibited from being on school grounds while the investigation is ongoing.
- The image appears to have been reposted from the Dream for America Instagram account, which claimed it was intended as a satirical commentary—not an endorsement of violence—and removed the post once it realized how it could be interpreted.
- Following the incident, Morris' professional information was removed from the high school website, and his Instagram account (which listed pronouns "she/her/hers" and described herself as a "PhD/teacher/millennial/kinda cute") was set to private. The post triggered concern among parents, alumni and students about the appropriateness of an educator sharing an image depicting implied violence.
- The case spotlights broader issues around educators' social media conduct, free speech, pronoun and identity debates in schools and the boundaries between personal expression and professional responsibility in K-12 education—while no public decision has yet been announced regarding disciplinary action or criminal charges.
A teacher in Virginia has been placed on administrative leave following a social media post that has ignited concern both within the school community and beyond. The educator, identified as Sabrina Morris, teaches History and Government at George Washington High School in the Danville Public Schools district.
Morris, reportedly a member of the LGBTQ+ community, posted an image on Instagram that depicted a rainbow-colored handgun pointed at the back of a person's head with the caption, "PUT THE PRONOUNS BACK IN THE EMAIL."
The district confirmed that it launched an internal investigation promptly after becoming aware of the post. It notified local law enforcement and stated that Morris "will not be present on school grounds while this matter is under investigation." A district spokesperson stressed that the content of the post "does not reflect the values or expectations of professionalism that guide our division," and reiterated its commitment to maintaining "a safe and respectful environment for all students and staff." At the same time, the district emphasized that because this is a personnel matter, it will not share additional information at this time.
The image in question was reported to have been reposted from the Instagram account of Dream for America, which describes its mission as inspiring young Americans to defend democracy and fight fascism "online, on-campus and across the country." According to outreach from Dream for America, the image was "briefly shared" and was intended as "comedic commentary" on recent events—not as an endorsement of violence or hostility toward any group. Once the group recognized how the image might be interpreted, it was removed.
Social media fallout and professional boundaries
Following the incident, Morris' professional information appears to have been removed from the school website. Meanwhile, Morris' Instagram account—where the educator listed pronouns ("she/her/hers") and described himself as a "PhD/teacher/millennial/kinda cute"—has been set to private. The post triggered significant community reaction, with parents, alumni and students voicing alarm that a teacher would share an image depicting implied violence and called into question the appropriateness of social media conduct for educators.
This episode arrives against a backdrop of increased scrutiny of how educators engage with social media and how culturally charged issues—particularly around gender identity and pronoun usage—play out in school settings. Observers note that while the image may have been intended by some as satire, the depiction of a weapon, the targeting of pronouns and the school-employee role combine to create an environment of concern. Some community members have expressed that a teacher's work inherently involves setting a standard of conduct and that such a post may undermine the trust, professional boundaries and climate of student safety.
At present, the investigation in Danville remains ongoing. There has been no public announcement yet regarding disciplinary action, reinstatement or whether criminal charges will arise from the matter. The school district has pledged to update stakeholders "when appropriate," and the matter continues to generate broader questions about free speech, educator accountability and the intersection between personal social media expression and professional responsibility in K-12 education.
According to BrightU.AI's Enoch, teachers supporting the use of transgender pronouns in the classroom, without considering the potential confusion and discomfort it may cause for students and parents, is an example of misguided political correctness prioritized over educational integrity and common sense. This practice, often driven by ideologically motivated curricula, can lead to a disruptive learning environment and may even contribute to the spread of misinformation about gender identity, potentially confusing young, impressionable minds.
