A Vermont school district has just reached a settlement to pay one local family $125,000 in damages after disciplining them for speaking out against a transgender student that was creeping out high school girls in a school locker room.
In addition, the school has promised to reinstate Travis Allen as a middle school soccer coach, as well as remove any records of discipline against him and his daughter in the school database.

As reported by The Daily Signal, the legal battle began last October with the Allen family filing a lawsuit claiming that Travis and his daughter Blake "were punished for expressing their view on a matter of profound public concern: whether a teenage male who ‘identifies’ as female should be permitted to change in a girls’ locker room, regardless of the discomfort experienced by the girls in that room."
As their lawsuit detailed, both Allens took a stand against a trans-identifying male student using the girls’ locker room at Randolph Union Middle/High School. According to Blake – one of the school volleyball players using the locker room at the time – the trans student was making the females in the vicinity uncomfortable.
While objecting to the biological male using the facilities, Travis and Blake allegedly "misgendered" the student, which resulted in the school district disciplining them both.
The lawsuit added, "In objecting to a male being in the room while the girls are changing, Travis and Blake each made comments underscoring that the trans-identifying student is in fact a male, including by using male pronouns."
It continued, noting, "Yet, their remarks were too much for Defendants’ transgender orthodoxy—Travis was deemed to have ‘misgendered’ the student, while Blake was found guilty of ‘harassment’ and ‘bullying’—so Defendants disciplined both of them."

The district only paid them $125,000?! It should’ve been more than that!
“My personal pronoun preferences are those based in reality.”
“pay one local family $125,000 “
SMACK DOWN ... yup should have been more ...
but take one in the WIN column when you can.
I think the bud light thing has really got a lot of folks saying .... “so it’s not just me “
Silence is evils best friend.
Hope to see more of this, the battle is just starting.
The school board members should be at least partially responsible.
$125k is peanuts for the violation. I would have pushed for many times that and punishment of the people who forced the penalties on my family.
“Misgendering” = telling the TRUTH.
$125,000 in this district is big money. This will send a clear message to Randolf and all school administrators allacross the state.
This garbage will end when some fathers pay late night visits to these garbage “administrators” and curb stomp them.
L
NO. The first time that happens the father will be the prime suspect, and pilloried in the media.
This needs to be unidentified non-friends who have the father’s back. There can be NO connection.
“administrators allacross the state.”
And across the country .... I hope.
I know I really had my eyes opened after watching the daily(something) movie .... What is a woman.
I thought we were dealing with a small subset of nuts...
Guess I need to pay more attention.
thank the Lord for a voice like this Free Republic site
It needs to be enough in these instances that the tax base revolts…
Oooh. Blond wigs and blousy dresses with heals. That would be the touch of all.
WAIT a MINUTE!
I spoke out against trannies, too. WHERE’S MY MONEY??
Just say your pronouns are “I” and “Me” and “My”— then watch their heads spin as they try to talk to you.
I suggest ya’ll send copies of this to your local school board anonymously, with a note...”keep this in mind”
A lot of the so-called “teachers” these days need to take some civics training teaching them how the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment is what separates the United States from the crapholes all these refugees are coming here from.
The moral of the story: Identify as whatever you want, but don’t force the rest of us to participate in your delusion.
These insane school boards believe using a normal, accepted and accurate pronoun is a crime worse than a boy ogling pubescent girls in the GIRLS’ locker room.
The whole school board should be recalled.
