A history teacher in Florida was placed on leave this week after a parent alleged she gave her son the “Most Likely to Become Dictator” superlative because of his conservative beliefs and allowed students to call him a “Naziphile” because of “his interest in World War II and participation in ROTC.”

The Alachua County School District has placed Gainesville High School history teacher Lauren Watts on administrative leave following the allegations made by Crystal Marull at a State Board of Education meeting in St. Augustine this week, school district officials told WCJB.

Marull claimed that in May 2023, the teacher had the class vote on the superlative and tried to make her son come to the front of the class to accept the award, which he refused.
