In what many hope will be a precedent-setting case, a Kansas teacher who was suspended for refusing to use a student’s preferred pronouns and hide a student’s gender transition from her parents has been awarded a $95,000 settlement.

"The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) threatened to take the matter to court. On Wednesday, school officials relented and the suit was dismissed."

I would say the case was settled, not dismissed.

Hope this sets a precedent and sends a message to any other government school that tries this.

The amazing part is, this known fact (a boy is a boy, a girl is a girl) - had to be threatened with a lawsuit before the school would admit it.

And they wonder why government school enrollment is cratering.

Not enough. Should have been 20 million, at least.

I don’t like “settling” out of court, because the offender always reserved the position that he denies wrongdoing.

I’d much rather have a court DECLARE that the offender was officially, legally wrong. A much more powerful outcome.

She retires in May. I am sure the board will find a suitable replacement.

“I don’t like “settling” out of court, because the offender always reserved the position that he denies wrongdoing.”

90% of people never read past the headline.

Too many of those 90% even make uninformed posts proving they didn’t read past the headline misleading the part of those 90% that read those posts.

The U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas sided with Ricard in a ruling that can send ripples throughout the nation.

I’m not a huge fan of lawsuits but I think this teacher did exactly the right thing. I’m thrilled for her that she won.

The amount she is getting will make a nice addition to her retirement neet egg, but I agree, more would have been better.

It’s a start. They’ll have to challenge a long list of districts to get traction.

The award is modest.

Teach got $95k. Most folks would say that's a lot of money to pay out for a school district that did nothing wrong.

I’d much rather have a court DECLARE that the offender was officially, legally wrong. A much more powerful outcome.

So would I but sometimes the person in the right doesn't have the funds to keep fighting until the bitter end.

OH, God how much I miss Rush.

I turned on my radio this morning so wishing he were on to parse Biden's speech and comment on the issues of the day.
