The Wisconsin English teacher, Jordan Cernek, argues in the suit that the district violated his freedom of religion and free speech in mandating the use of the students’ preferred names and pronouns.
A high school English teacher is suing a Wisconsin school district, alleging it did not renew his contract last year because he refused to use the preferred names of two transgender students.
Jordan Cernek’s federal lawsuit alleges the Argyle School District violated his constitutional and civil rights to be free of religious discrimination and to be able to express himself according to his religious beliefs when it did not renew his contract because he refused to abide by a requirement that teachers use the names or pronouns requested by students.
Lmao. Teachers don’t get free speech, they’re acting in loco parentis. Anything detrimental to a child in their care is grounds for dismissal. Just depends on the school.
Oh, you’d be surprised the states that would disagree with you.
Well…maybe “surprised” isn’t the word. I assume you follow the news. Maybe “deeply saddened with humanity and it’s inability to tolerate those different than them” is a better word…although I suppose that’s many words.
Oh well. Life is funny like that. Always surprising you. Or…rather deeply saddening with humanity and it’s inability to tolerate those different than them as it were.
