When Your Boss Tells You To Do Something And You Say No.

Yesterday I wrote about an Anchorage Alaska homeless shelter was awarded $100,000 for denying at trans woman admittance to the shelter and now a man is suing a school system for firing him because he was disrespectful of a trans student.

A Virginia high school teacher has filed a lawsuit after being fired for refusing to use a transgender student’s pronouns, arguing he is being discriminated against for his faith.

Peter Vlaming, who worked as a French teacher at West Point High School, Virginia, said he would use the student’s chosen name – as well as a French equivalent they had picked out – after his parents revealed their son’s transition to the school.

However the teacher refused to refer to him using male pronouns, while continuing to use female pronouns when talking about them to other students and members of staff.

It seem that the teacher does not respect his students, he says it is his right to disrespect the student. It is his “religious freedom” to cause harm to a student.
After class he approached the teacher, saying “Mr Vlaming, you may have your religion, but you need to respect who I am”.
The teacher was later fired and guess who he has for his defense team?
The teacher is being represented by lawyers from the Alliance Defending Freedom – a legal advocacy operation identified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The ADF refute the claim.
