Separation of church and state. Don’t like it, don’t work for a government institution. She is also creating a hostile working/learning environment. She is actually the one harassing students here. She should lose her case.

“She should lose her case.”

Dude, you misspelled “job”, or, perhaps, “any place in civil society.”

We don’t disagree. She definitely should not be teaching children.

I’m sure after this is over she’ll get a job at some prestigious religious school where this kind of bigotry is more tolerated.

Sorry… I did not mean to appear to be attacking you or your position. I was just using you as a foil. I meant no offense or insult.

Sure we have “freedom of speech”(tm), but employees must do what the government tells them do (whether it’s uttering disagreeable misgendered names for immature kids, or inject the 4+ boosters of that you-cant-sue-the-manufacturers-if-something-goes-wrong Covid vaccine) or those employees can’t earn a living or put food on their table. Meanwhile, hospitals and schools can’t find enough new employees and have non-stop job vacancies.

Breaking News: The First Amendment prevents the Government from fining you, or jailing you, or otherwise “silencing” you. But if you think that means you can, say, use a racial slur to refer to someone you’re interacting with, and not suffer some consequences, you’re delusional. I mean, even if you work for the government, if you refer to people in an inappropriate way, you’re going to get fired.

Being a bigot is in no way an actual “conservative value.” If your religion requires you to be disrespectful to *children*… probably you need a new religion.

You’d never admit it, but you know full well that this has _nothing_ to do with education and everything to do with control, trying to indoctrinate both kiddos and their teachers into legitimizing behaviors that even a couple years ago weren’t even thinkable as civilized. This particular teacher isn’t pushing a religious agenda whatsoever but is being forced to behave against her beliefs. That’s akin to the government demanding religious (e.g. strict Muslim) butchers to carve up pigs if they want to get a business license or earn a living. You’re never going to get 100% progressives in the teaching ranks. There simply aren’t *that* many Lefties unselfish enough to want to spend time in front of a classroom full of kids.

Also I love how you subtly try to redefine “bigotry”, which is pretty rich coming from a full throated supporter of the party that birthed the KKK, whose current politicians desperately crave votes of inner city folks and then conveniently forget about them until the next election cycle (keeping the ghetto perpetually crappy).

Lastly, If you insisted to the other MCS NPCs here that you were a 21 year old supermodel, I doubt anybody would remember to honor your pronoun requests. But you’ll always be a turd to me.
