Quote:Under a new rule adopted by the Florida Board of Education in July, parents must fill out a consent form before their children can go by a nickname in public schools. If Thomas wants to be called Tommy in the classroom, or Katherine prefers that teachers refer to her as Kat, they will need their parents' written permission.
The Board of Education said the change was made "to protect the fundamental rights of parents." If the form is not completed and a parent does not sign off, school staff must refer to students by their legal name.

I urge parents of school age children in Florida to 1) refuse to sign the permission slips and 2) trot their children down to the local registry office and change the child's name to something like 'Stiffwilly Jones' or 'Nipples Smith'.
