(cont'd from yesterday's post)
A school in Kansas adopted a policy that teachers must call students by their preferred name and pronouns, and this must be kept a secret from the parents if the student wishes it. One of the teachers (she'd been teaching there for 17 years) called them by their legal names, and refused to hide it from the parents.
She was suspended and disciplined.
She took her case to court, and like the one in yesterday's post, based it partly on religious freedom: that the school district violated her free speech, free exercise of religion, and due process rights. (Btw, is it okay and lawful when your employer compels you to lie?)
She won her case and was awarded $95,000 by the court.
Her lawyer says, "This case provides straightforward lessons for Kansas school boards: Schools shouldn’t lie to parents and teachers don’t forfeit their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse door."
Note: Dr. Jordan Peterson sees government-compelled speech and modern identity politics as moving toward fascism.
