Jessica Tapia went into teaching because of how 'amazing it would be to be a light to [kids] coming from very rough homes like I did when I was a child'

...

A California teacher, who lost her job after refusing to comply with a California district's gender policies, citing Christian beliefs, is blowing the whistle on the expectations she felt as a teacher to not only hide students' gender transitions from parents, but also to keep them in the dark through lying.

...

In a notice under Superintendent Trenton Hansen's letterhead, reviewed by Fox News Digital, the district said they couldn't accommodate Tapia's Christian beliefs which prohibited her from withholding information on gender transitions from kids' parents.

"Consequentially, the District will release you from your employment effective at the end of the day on January 31, 2023," the notice said.

...

Based on your religious beliefs, you cannot be dishonest with parents... If asked about a student's gender identity by a parent, you cannot

...

Tapia, as a physical education teacher, also refused to allow "male genitals" in the girls' locker room, in opposition of district policy.

...

Tapia said she originally went into teaching because she loved the idea of helping and supporting kids.

...

Tapia has retained an attorney at the Pacific Justice Institute, and intends to sue.

We are in the midst of a communist EVOLUTION.

“The “Long March through the Institutions” is a phrase coined by Italian communist Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) to describe how a society could be subverted without recourse to arms. By co-opting society’s chief institutions—schools, universities, courts, corporations, media and political parties—dedicated leftists could effect revolutionary change.”

Exactly, the State government just told her she’s being fired for being a Christian. Do these people not have any understanding of Constitutional rights?

Lawsuit them into oblivion.

If the suit isn’t in at least SEVEN figures, it will be regarded as an impotent swat on the wrist, and not taken seriously.

Antonio Gramsci's Wiki page:

He was a founding member and one-time leader of the Italian Communist Party. A vocal critic of Benito Mussolini and fascism, he was imprisoned in 1926 where he remained until his death in 1937.

The public schools are now weapons of class warfare against the pupils and their parents.

It's time for an investigation on the order of the Nuremburg trials.

if Christian teacher Jessica Tapia is not up to speed with her 14th Amendment (14A) protections, then not good.

Excerpted from 14A:

There are judges, even in California, that respect 14th Amendment protections.

UC Berkeley settles landmark free speech lawsuit, will pay $70,000 to conservative group (12.4.18)

But I wouldn't be surprised if California taxpayers ultimately paid the Berkeley 14A settlement.

And while some Christian denominations seemingly wash their hands of government authority because it is "evil," 14A protections in this example, note that Acts 22:23-29 shows that the Holy Spirit led Apostle Paul to claim his Roman citizenship to get out of a flogging.

The admonition is right there in the Bible with regard to the time when Christians will be punished for their beliefs.

"She would be welcomed in Florida."

She would be welcomed in a great many conservative states. Just a shame she landed in California.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list.

Any parents who have their children still in public school have their eyes pen by now and are approving of the government indoctrination and manipulation of their children. It is too well known for that not to be the case. I have to believe that most of the population believes that the children belong to the State and it is up to the State to make of them whatever suits the State. I have no sympathy with people who complain about the public schools. They cannot change them. Even Florida which has made some progress at blunting the evil will slip back as soon as DeSantis is no longer governor. Parents who actually care about their childrens’ futures have already removed them from that system.
