Public schools are child abuse
I hope she wins
I hope the teacher sues the school for big bucks
UC Berkeley settles landmark free speech lawsuit, will pay $70,000 to conservative group (12.4.18)
Excerpted from 14A:
"Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
So there is hope for Christian teacher.
Insights welcome.
If the school system had a policy in place, had given these kids the belief that their mental illness would be euphemized via pronoun fascism, and a teacher then continued repeatedly to call them the "dead name", that actually is bullying and harassment.
That said, it's illogical, destructive, ludicrous and flat wrong to punish a teacher who merely "misgenders" by accident, or as in this case, was never even given the Orwellian pronoun training.
Therefore I, too, hope she wins this case.
