Kindergarten teacher sues Oakland Unified after she’s fired for refusing to use child’s preferred pronouns

The battle over an Oakland kindergartner’s pronouns started when the 5-year-old told teacher Mirella Ramirez she was misgendering him because, the student said, he was no longer a girl, but rather a boy. The student, according to Ramirez, wanted her to use male pronouns, a demand backed by the child’s parents as well as district policy. But the Melrose Leadership Academy teacher, citing her Catholic faith, refused.

The parents should be arrested for child abuse

[reasonisfaith]

You mean her.

[AbolishCSEU]

She’s a girl most likely being raised by a single mom ™

This is the point of these transgender rules: it’s about purging traditional Christians from public employment.

Pronto.

“... the Melrose Leadership Academy teacher, citing her Catholic faith, refused”

She could have just cited common sense and biological truth. And then accused the parents, school district, and others of wanting to mutilate the child.

How in the world does a young child get such notions and use such language? (we all know the how and why of it)

And it’s one of the steps to turning America into a Marxist banana republic.

Exactly.

[Political Junkie Too]

Ask the 5-year-old to define "pronoun."

Good. Teachers are winning these cases all over the place:

CBS News:

Kansas middle school teacher who was suspended for repeatedly misgendering student gets $95,000 from district in lawsuit settlement

Daily Wire:

Teacher Who Refused To Use Preferred Pronouns Gets $450K Settlement

Latin Times:

Virginia Teacher Fired for Misgendering Trans Student Wins Legal Battle. The school district has agreed to pay the French teacher more than $500,000.

Higher Ed:

A $400K settlement over misgendering a trans student could foreshadow wave of Title IX clashes

You’d think these school districts would get the message...but no.

I’m sure there are plenty of lawyers lined up to school these school districts. Let the lawsuits continue.

Kindergarteners can now DEMAND that adults use THEIR “pronouns”? California grownups are a bunch of wussies. Who’s using the drugs, the adults or the kindergarteners?

Yep 101 frozen pops.

Libs can’t give the definition of a woman/girl.

[AbolishCSEU]

Spankings need to make a comeback.

These evil freaks calling themselves the parental units of the little girl should lose all custody and visitation rights to their child. Not only that, but they should lose everything they have including every single penny in their accounts and lose their home and possessions, be unemployed and imprisoned for child accuse.

[No name given]

I’d say both.

Big time.
