Teacher fired for refusing to use wrong pronoun
https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/...r-n1060876

"..."He wasn't fired for something he said," the lawsuit reads. "He was fired for what he didn't say."

West Point High School and the school board did not return requests for comments."

He NEEDS to win. This is a very slippery slope. If someone wants people to use the personal pronoun "ze" can they be fired if they don't?

are you fk'n serious?

the real argument is about being force-fed additional descriptors that are illogical, yet carry consequence relative to the 1st...

he simply gave 'em the finga using 'unfair bias'...

it would be akin to how most view those that welch....

but ya man....keep fighting for more legalese bs that is worthless in scope....

And he didn't even switch them. He called the student by the student's desired new name.

Why would anyone be switching up, or being asked to, obvious and apparent pronouns in the first place?

Can I stake claim to being a giraffe?

If not, why not? It’s how I feel today.

Did I say it was?

Again. Because you ignored it, as have others:

Quote:According to the suit filed Monday in King William County, using the male pronouns would have "violated" Vlaming's "conscience" and went against his religious beliefs, so he called the student by his preferred name during class and avoided using pronouns altogether.

How does using the preferred pronoun of an individual go against a person's religious beliefs? Is there some kind of Bible clause on pronoun usage in 2019 for a trans man or woman?

RE: Teacher fired for refusing to use wrong pronoun
This is the evolution of a slippery slope, the things liberals always say don't exist and are a straw man.

1. what we do in the privacy of our own bedroom is none of your business.

Okay

2. we shouldn't have to hide what we are.

Okay

3. we are going to celebrate who we are.

Okay

4. you must accept and approve of who we are.

Uhh, I must do something? That doesn't seem right.

5. You MUST support and reinforce what we are!!

Wait, you want to force me to believe like you?

6. You will be told how you must support and reinforce us or we will ruin your life!!!

RE: Teacher fired for refusing to use wrong pronoun
I mean, when you call someone by their name and they say “oh I actually go by -nickname-” you don’t keep calling them by their first name just to spite them do you?

Could someone explain the difference to me?

I just can’t see the bridge between being asked to drop the s from the word “she” for one person and infringing on Christian beliefs and the first amendment.
