U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth replied to a CBN News story late Thursday night, revealing that a transgender teacher who identifies as a wolf has been fired. It comes after a group of military families had expressed deep concern about the teacher at their children’s school.
Hegseth declared on X, “The ‘Wolf’ was fired 2 weeks ago.”

That information had apparently not been disclosed to Liberty Counsel, which had been calling on the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) to remove the teacher from the classroom. Liberty pointed to multiple disturbing examples that have confused and terrified kindergarten and pre-K children at Mildred B. Poole Elementary School.
EARLIER REPORT:
The Christian non-profit said earlier this week it had not received a reply to its demand letter to DoDEA from February 9, 2026, stating that multiple parents have reported “sexually inappropriate” behavior by the male, trans-identified substitute teacher and teacher’s aide.
The parents had been upset since early 2025 that administrators hadn’t taken action to remove the teacher after he engaged in “disturbing behavior” that involved dressing in feminine clothing in class, as well as wearing a dog collar with fetish tags and an animal tail.

The letter also reported that the teacher had involved children in his sexual fetishes by doing the following:
- telling students he turns into a “wolf” at night – his fetish animal;
- directing them to howl like wolves;
- requiring them to call him by some of his online wolf character names;
- requiring his students to address him by inaccurate female names and pronouns;
- and telling the children he is “actually a woman” who “likes boys.”
