About Church Legal Media News Follow Shop Give Login Pentagon Fires Kindergarten Teacher Who Was Grooming Children Feb 20, 2026 Yesterday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced on the social media platform X that a Fort Bragg kindergarten teacher who had subjected children to sexually inappropriate and disturbing behavior has been fired. Following the announcement, the Department of War Education Activity (DoWEA) today sent a letter to Liberty Counsel stating it had “severed the employment relationship” with the teacher and that the “individual no longer has access” to Fort Bragg. The letter is a response to Liberty Counsel’s February 9 demand letter requesting removal of this teacher from any contact with children. Multiple families with children at Fort Bragg’s Mildred B. Poole Elementary School had reported in 2025 and again in January 2026 that school administrators have allowed a trans-identified male substitute teacher/teacher’s aide to identify as a wolf—his sexual fetish animal—and to wear provocative “female” attire, a dog collar, and an animal tail in class while requiring children to howl and address him by false female names and pronouns. The male teacher was also allowed to escort girls to the bathroom. Children reported they were “scared,” “upset,” and “uncomfortable” by the teacher’s personas and behavior. Secretary Hegseth stated Thursday that “the Wolf” was fired two weeks ago. Before the announcement, Liberty Counsel had sent the demand letter to the DoWEA on behalf of concerned Fort Bragg parents whose kindergarten and pre-K children had been subjected to the disturbing behavior from the teacher. Liberty Counsel had demanded that DoWEA immediately suspend this male teacher, remove him from any contact with children pending an investigation, and offer forensic interviews for any little girls this male teacher has escorted to the bathroom. The DoWEA states that parents may contact any of their schools “directly” if they have questions or concerns regarding their children. Liberty Counsel’s Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “We commend Secretary Pete Hegseth for confirming that this male teacher is no longer grooming children at the Fort Bragg U.S. Army post. Exposing military children to this disturbing behavior is harmful, detracts from military readiness by distracting parents, and violates Title VII, Title IX, and numerous other policies. The Department of War Education Activity may want to consider a task force to root out dangerous gender ideology from its schools. There is no place in schools for this gross and disturbing behavior.” Read more details about this story here.
