Surrounded by stuffed animals while in bed on a February morning, a fed up teenager pulled out her iPhone, opened her email and asked the most powerful person in her school district for help.
âHello,â Madisyn Slaterâs message to the superintendent began. âI am a student at Blake High School, a Tampa school in Hillsborough county. I am currently a senior and the past four years my peers have been sharing experiences that they have had with Ms. Tiffany Johnson, a biology teacher at the school.â
She told him Ms. Johnson used sexual innuendo in class, that during a lesson on reproductive organs the teacher wrote about a studentâs genitals and that Ms. Johnson once took a pen from a student, placed it between her breasts and then handed it back.
