Jenye “Viki” Knox served Union High School since 2000 as a teacher and faculty adviser for the students’ Bible study group. She began teaching handicapped students 28 years ago.

An ordained minister, Knox communicated her opinion openly on social media.

In 2013, Knox sued the district for violating her right to free speech and her right to the free expression of her religion. She wanted her job back with back pay and the admission that she was within her rights under the Constitution to express her views on Facebook.

The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey admitted that though they did not approve of Knox’s Christian beliefs, “her beliefs and comments are protected by the First Amendment.”

Eventually, the schoolteacher reached a confidential settlement on the tenure issue. The board used that against her, arguing her lawsuit was moot because she settled on the tenure issue, but in 2015 U.S. District Court Judge Kevin McNulty allowed her suit to go forward.

Agree with that.

Clearly there is a pecking order of preferred minorities in this country right now - gays must be at or near the top.....

There's always been a competition on the left for whose victimhood is the most victimated at any given moment! I can't find the really good concise poker hand explanation for this, but here's a good in depth article that explains it. It is a little older though, so 'trans' is still lumped with homosexuality, even though nowadays 'trans' is probably near the top of the victimhood pile, close to Muslim.

Interesting article - thanks - I’m a bit surprised that “social justice warrior” was such a prominent concept as far back as 2014, but apparently it’s been part of the Marxist fantasy landscape for many years.....
