You’re not in school to learn Gibberish

If that’s her in the blue dress, she kinda looks too young to retire. On the other hand she won’t have trouble being hired at a non-woke school.

And the parents not allowed to know. They should join her lawsuit or add their own. If allowed to stand the communist goal of the state owning the children is achieved.

Here’s my general-purpose solution:

Give the student two choices:

1. We will use one of the two traditional pronoun families (he, she, his, hers, etc.) you’d like us to use.

2. We will use use your full name, e.g. Joe Brown, and never use a pronoun to refer to you. Also, we won’t put a Mr. or Ms. on front.

You can just imagine the meeting of those highly paid public school bureaucrats concocting that bizarre policy. With people like that in charge of public education it is no surprise that 50% of 8th graders in urban public schools with huge budgets are functionally illiterate and are unable to do basic arithmetic.

An employer can not fire you for not lying.

People really need to read up on employment law.

When a society descends into evil madness, the first institutions to get totally corrupted are medicine and academia.

Why is anyone still using pronouns?!!
Use the first name, every time. Problem solved.
You're going to risk it all over mis-gendering and not using the right pronoun? Don't. They are dangerous.

If the kid wants to use other than their given name, let the parents register the kid under the name the kid wants to use.

As long as the birth certificate backs it up or is accompanied by a court-approved name change action.

They canned her. But Ricard refused to back down. She sued the Geary County School District

THIS IS THE WAY TO DEAL WITH COMMIES RUNNING OUR SCHOOL SYSTEMS. SUE THEM. SUE THEM EACH AND EVERY TIME. THEN SUE THEM AGAIN.

“After the court’s ruling, school officials relented and agreed to pay Ricard a $95,000 settlement to avoid the wrath of a jury, and the case was withdrawn.”

She needs to go forward with the suit to help set a precedent.

People need to stop this pronoun nonsense.

This school is on the base, everyone of those kids is a military dependent. It is operated by the Geary County School district (that's who she sued).

“The U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas sided with Pamela Ricard.” In related news, Pamela Richard is supported by logic, psychology, medieval philosophy, dogmatic theology, the Bible, and all people with the natural ability to discriminate between sweet and sour.

I wonder what the school board would have done if the student said ‘its’ name was “F_ck U B_t_H”? And that its “preferred pronouns” were also obscenities’?

If this was Ireland, the teacher would be jailed.
