PASCO COUNTY, Fla. – A Florida teacher is facing disciplinary action after she reportedly claimed that “Trump deserves a bullet through the head,” according to Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas.

In a release on Friday morning, he said that the teacher — identified as Mary Hazel Washburn, who teaches math at Land O’Lakes High School — made the proclamation in class back in October.

As a result of the incident, Kamoutsas filed an administrative complaint against Washburn, asserting that she violated provisions of state law and Florida Administrative Code.

“I have found probable cause to pursue sanctions against her teaching certificate and will take every available step to ensure she never teaches again,” he wrote. “Teachers are entrusted with shaping young minds and must foster civil discourse.”

It’s not the first time that Kamoutsas has gone after educators over their behavior in class, though.

Late last year, he took aim at another teacher over her use of the gender-neutral title “Mx.” He also took umbrage with another teacher who reportedly gave a student an award for “Most Likely to Become a Dictator.”

And after the assassination of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk in September, Kamoutsas announced he would crack down on any teachers who posted “despicable comments” online about his death.

“An educator’s personal views that are made public may undermine the trust of the students and families that they serve,” he said at the time. “An educator’s personal views that are made public may undermine the trust of the students and families that they serve.”
