In the summer of 2018, a transgender student at West Point High School in West Point, Va., had transitioned, asking his French teacher to refer to him with masculine pronouns: he, him, his. But the instructor, Peter Vlaming, did not comply, he said in a lawsuit. Citing his religious beliefs, he promised to use only the students name and avoid pronouns entirely. Administrators eventually gave the teacher an ultimatum: Use the students correct pronouns, or face disciplinary action, he said.
Then, on Oct. 31, 2018, his second-year French students wore virtual-reality goggles and walked around the classroom. The transgender student seemed about to crash when the teacher told another student to help their classmate.
Dont let her hit the wall, Vlaming shouted.
That was the last straw for the student, who withdrew from Vlamings class. But it was also the last straw for school officials, who suspended the teacher for insubordination, and from the school board, which later fired him, citing how Vlaming had repeatedly ignored orders from his bosses.

Note how the MSM always portrays this as due to “religious beliefs.”
Of course, no explanation has been given - but in fact, it has little to do with religion - and everything to do with basic biology, science, and common sense.
Ironic that trans are the opposite of the gays who are happy to be out of the closet. Trans want to get in the closet but is it because they truly believe they are the opposite sex or because they want to deceive people? Several years ago a trans woman was murdered because he seduced a couple of guys at a bar who thought he was a she. When they discovered the error, they went crazy and beat him to death. I want no part of deceiving others and so I have already determined not to cooperate in calling a man a woman or vice versa. (But then I am a crotchety old woman and no longer in the workplace so the pressure is definitely different for me.)

He needs to get himself a job in a private or religious school and leave these idiots to themselves.
because shes a girl.
Maybe “The Addams Family” was ahead of it’s time...
Didn’t they have “Cousin IT” in their cast?
Gee, a case in which the teacher’s union didn’t intervene?
My preferred pronoun for them is FAGGOT!
He should have let her hit the wall. And then said he does not recognize the wall as a wall, and instead calls it “air”.
Kinda like how some people do not recognize a female as a female.
When teaching architecture in Savannah , I stumbled on a solution for this. I addressed all students by their last names. No pronouns. No exceptions. It was, “What’s the answer Smith?” and “Where is your homework, Jones?” It worked like a charm.
My guess is that he did have tenure based on the fact his license expires in 2021.
This idiocy is going to hit the SAT test, and I’m rather certain the College Board will cave.
As a teacher, I used to give kids nicknames and refer to them only as such. This one would be too easy...
“Good morning, HimHer!”
I like your strategy here.
Do many girls want to be men?
I’m glad the teacher stood up to the insanity in spite of it costing his job. I’m sure a local private school will hire him. We all have to stand together condemning this transgender nonsense.
I dunno, why not just use the pronouns? If its school policy, then do so.
>> So the teacher should have said dont let that freak hit the wall? <<
No, the teacher should have remained silent and let Fate resolve this leftist created dilemma.
Takes ages to fire someone who sexually molests a student, but refuse to use the crazy kid’s preferred pronouns, and you’re fired.
Using sh*thead would seem to work in all situations
Shithead is a very common Indian name. Of course it is pronounce Shith heed, but it is spelled Shithead.
