I Would Fire Her.

When she took the job she knew that there would be LGBTQ+ students and part of her job would be to treat all students the same.

An Ohio teacher lost her job after refusing to use the pronouns of two students due to her religious beliefs, according to a lawsuit.

The lawsuit, filed Dec. 12, claims the Jackson Local School District Board of Education and several administrators violated Vivian Geraghty’s rights to free speech and religion by demanding she refer to students by pronouns that don’t match with their genders assigned at birth — or else her employment would be terminated.

Geraghty began teaching at Jackson Memorial Middle School in 2020, the lawsuit said. At the beginning of the 2022 school year, she learned two of her students were asking to be called by different names and pronouns as part of their “social transition” to different genders.

She felt that participating in this “social transition” would be a violation of her Christian beliefs, and would cause psychological damage to the students in question, the lawsuit said.

Geraghty met with administrators at the school and asked if she could call the students by their last names instead, but they responded that, as a public servant, Geraghty should put her personal beliefs aside, the lawsuit said.

This is just like the case in Tennessee with the town clerk.

Kim Davis violated same-sex couples' rights by refusing marriage licenses, judge says

Kim Davis — the former clerk in Kentucky whose refusal to sign marriage certificates for same-sex couples grabbed national headlines in 2015 — violated their constitutional rights, a federal judge found.

[…]

The legal battle started in 2015 when Davis, in her capacity of a county clerk, defied the Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges. It's the landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

She said distributing marriage licenses to such couples went against her beliefs as a member of the Apostolic Church, arguing that she could not give them a marriage license "under God's authority."

Her refusal quickly drew support from social conservatives and anger from same-sex marriage advocates.

I think that the two cases are the same, both public servant that refused to do their jobs but we have a new Supreme Court, one that likes to rule “religious freedom” at every drop of a hat.
