A first-grade teacher in Nashville, Tennessee, claims that he was threatened with termination and reassigned to a new position after requesting religious accommodations to avoid reading books to children that promote same-sex marriage, which would have conflicted with his beliefs about marriage and sexuality.
Eric Rivera is a devout Christian who taught first-grade students at KIPP Antioch College Prep Elementary School, according to a Wednesday statement from the First Liberty Institute, a nonprofit public interest law firm. KIPP is a public charter school that operates under the Tennessee Public Charter School Commission.

Sue the POS “skrewl”.
It’s like Jack Phillips all over again.
“Eric Rivera, what are you doing in jail?”
“What are you doing out there??” Eric replied
Thoreau was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
GROOMING CHILDREN
You think they’d demand, and threaten to fire, a Muslim teacher who refused to read books about LGBTQ issues to children?
Close the public schools. They do way more harm than good.
That kind of LGBQT stuff doesn’t pass as educating the students, clearly it’s indoctrination and does not belong in a classroom. Neither does that teacher.
Dems are extremely tolerant of everyone they agree with.
Of course not.
Proves one thing,, school is run by homos who want to flaunt their objective.
Sorry, but the school’s name, ‘KIPP Antioch College Prep Elementary Schoo’l, is a tell.
Shut down all public schools. Give us our tax money back
What’s the tell? The fact that an elementary school is college prep?
Whoever ordered those books read should be executed. I will not back off of that point of view. Come and get me. All of this MUST be ENDED.
Sue them till you could drive a truck in their ass!
I wonder if the Civil Liberties Union will be involved in this.
The tell is the pretentiousness of the school’s name. I’m surprised they didn’t get ‘academy’ in there. Even a high school that bills itself as ‘college prep’ I find a bit suspicious.
I wouldn’t read that crap either.
Give it time and the teacher can read the arrest reports for child molestation by the school administrators who are pushing this.
