Guess this is why I like college. I just call everybody Professor and not risking strange looks or offending anybody.

The article states that the teacher in question asked if they could go by professor, to which the principal said was in violation of the same law. Which means in Florida you cannot call a teacher professor, as it is gender neutral.

What the fuck? Admittedly I didn't read the article because I thought they banned "they".

Funnily enough, I think this depends on country. I'm in Australia and I've heard lecturers ask the class not to call them Professor since that is a title within the University (I'm guessing something similar to Captain in an Army). I think most couldn't care less, but I've had 1 or 2 ask in the first class not to use that title. So you can't win.
