This is not a libtard urban hipster community. It should be interesting to watch.

Good lawsuit! $500,000 not near enough though.

Teacher fired. Was the Fairfax cop actually suspended for turning a wanted trespasser over to ICE? WTH Virginia?

This is why we need Trump making 5 more years of Supreme Court selections.

“Tolerance, after all, is a two-way street.”

There goes his credibility with progressives.

My cousin who is a 30 year teacher, is faced with this right now. He is a Christian, and it goes against his beliefs. He is faced with immediate termination if he does not address this freak the way it wants. He is a wonderful teacher with a perfect teaching record, but just this one thing could end all that. In the meantime, he decided to address all students by their last names only to avoid any pronouns. Please keep him in your prayers. He is in the belly of the beast.

The guy is a French teacher. He teaches language, and to do that you have to teach grammar. The teacher’s entire purpose in the school is to teach kids how to do things like use the correct pronoun in a sentence.

French is a language where appropriate gender conjugations are necessary components to any part of understanding the grammar and thus the language. If you got a student who composes his and/or her identity around a flaunting of English grammar conventions, and the school is so dead set on letting that kid flaunt English grammar conventions that it puts that kid’s self selected pronouns above the importance of educating the students, you just can’t teach.

Vlaming is seeking a permanent injunction that allows him to be reinstated, a permanent injunction preventing the school board from punishing staff for their views on gender identity, $500,000 in damages for lost wages and benefits, and $500,000 in damages for “loss of reputation, pain, suffering, and emotional distress.”

There are two genders, male and female. Gender confusion is a treatable mental disorder. That is, those folks are crazy.

This should be a no brainer ruling in favor of Vlaming. The school board members should be recalled and replaced because they have seriously disordered minds. They may be guilty of child abuse, by catering to, and encouraging a disturbed person.

Does anyone have the phone number of the law firm that represented that bakery against Oberlin College?

Cool. Come in every other day with a new identity and get the teacher/boss/coworker fired the first time he/she/whatever doesn’t address you by your flavor of the day.

Now, lets talk about one of the libs’ soapboxes - bullying.
