More than 800 teachers, principals and school psychologists have signed a petition opposing the changes to the pre-school and school education act banning LGBT propaganda in schools. Vazrazhdane party will file a signal to the prosecutor's office against "teachers who organized a petition against a law prohibiting them from conducting homosexual propaganda among children and students", the party's leader Kostadin Kostadinov announced on Facebook. Earlier, PP-DB MP Manol Peykov warned that Vazrazhdane-Varna had published on social media a list of teachers’ names in a post titled "Look at the people who supported gender ideology in Varna schools", but later deleted it.

The Ministry of Education and Science issued a statement in support of their colleagues, stating that "the Bulgarian teacher has always been free, open-minded and progressive and this has made Bulgarian children and the Bulgarian nation free. That is why no form of discrimination and repression against teachers, students and parents will be allowed in the Bulgarian education system", the Education Ministry said.
