Federal court to school teacher: Not following one of the woke's rules is reason enough to get you fired.
You MUST call a transgender student by his/her/it/their/thems/whatever preferred pronoun.
The Cook County Record reports:
An Indiana school district did not violate the constitutional religious freedom rights of a teacher it fired after they [sic] refused to allow the teacher to refer to students by their last names alone, demanding the teacher exclusively use transgender students’ chosen first names and pronouns, a divided federal appeals panel has ruled.
The school actually fired the teacher, John M. Kluge, even though he sought a compromise: Let me call students by their last names, like couches do. Okay, the school said, but then took it back. Even a gender-neutral solution would be too much for the students to bear, ruled the federal Seventh Circuit Appeals Court in Chicago.
In other words, a kid’s feelings—a right guaranteed in a Bill of Rights?—supersedes the right of religious liberty in the First Amendment.
