The principal who fired the Christian teacher also refuses to use someone's 'preferred pronouns.'
AKRON, Ohio (LifeSiteNews) — A Christian public school teacher filed a federal lawsuit against her former employer after it forced her out for refusing to support gender-confused children in their “social transition” by using their chosen pronouns and names.
Defendants in the First Amendment lawsuit include Jackson Local School District, Principal Kacy Carter, Superintendent Christopher DiLoreto, and Monica Myers, the curriculum director.
Yet, Vivian Geraghty appeared to follow the same policy that Principal Carter himself stated he followed – to avoid using someone’s pronouns if it conflicted with their actual sex.
The firing of the Christian teacher came after two students asked Geraghty to endorse their gender confusion by using “by using names associated with their new gender identities rather than their legal names.”
“One student also asked to be referenced with pronouns inconsistent with the student’s sex,” the lawsuit stated.
When the teacher asked Principal Carter how to handle this situation, the principal himself said “his own practice was to refrain from using any pronouns to refer to students who express gender identities inconsistent with their sex.” The lawsuit also noted that Carter “was initially unable to tell Ms. Geraghty exactly what her obligations were.”
Myers, the curriculum and instruction director for the district, soon after joined Carter and Geraghty in a meeting. Myers told the teacher she must “set [her] religious convictions aside,” and then Principal Carter order her to write up a resignation letter, effectively firing her.
The defendants “continue to maintain a Policy requiring teachers to participate in the ‘social transition’ of students who express a ‘gender identity’ inconsistent with their sex by using names and pronouns consistent with the ‘gender identity’ and inconsistent with the students’ legal name and sex,” according......

My brother is a high school teacher. He now refers to students by their last name only. It’s stupid how hamstrung by political correctness they are.
Being a Christian teacher in public school is akin to a Jew working as a NAZI prison guard.
They should be referred to by the proper pronoun of WARPED
You can’t compel speech. Many Supreme Court rulings affirm same.
My brother is a high school teacher. He now refers to students by their last name only.Great solution. And when it claims it doesn't identify by a last name, replace the name with "Seat 14C".
Unusually in that it is still a township, but has more than 70,000 people.
>> gender-confused children
An invention of predatory Leftwing #s.
It is a HUGE mistake to frame this as a religious issue OR a free speech issue.
You should be free to avoid denial of the natural law on the grounds that you are not crazy or delusional, and just as fire is hot and water is wet, boys are boys and girls are girls.
If you have recourse to religion, you are claiming that this is a matter of faith, not of reality, and that by implication an atheist or a Jew could rightly be fired or sanctioned for not denying reality.
It’s not your Christian or Catholic faith that makes a man a man or a woman a woman.
What is the Republican position on mutilation of healthy bodies and claims that a man can become a woman and vice-versa?
“ and then Principal Carter order her to write up a resignation letter, effectively firing her.”
The correct response to such a demand is “No.”

The only thing left is to punch back twice as hard.
Thats the way we did it in the military. Rank then last name. You could just use thier rank if you wanted. No gender bias there.
Mandatory compelled speech, coming to a kindergarten near you!
Will veterinarians and pet groomers need religious exemptions to reject business from humans who identify as dogs?
Good point! Thanks for pointing this out.
