The Wisconsin English teacher, Jordan Cernek, argues in the suit that the district violated his freedom of religion and free speech in mandating the use of the students’ preferred names and pronouns.
A high school English teacher is suing a Wisconsin school district, alleging it did not renew his contract last year because he refused to use the preferred names of two transgender students.
Jordan Cernek’s federal lawsuit alleges the Argyle School District violated his constitutional and civil rights to be free of religious discrimination and to be able to express himself according to his religious beliefs when it did not renew his contract because he refused to abide by a requirement that teachers use the names or pronouns requested by students.
Thomas Jefferson wrote that there should be “a wall of separation of Church and State.” Meaning no religion in government matters. Meaning, no tax breaks, no National Cathedral, no “In God We Trust”, no “one nation under God.”
Of course the people who scream about what the Founding Fathers wanted tend to ignore what the Founding Fathers really said.
to be fair, in jefferson’s case, ignoring the shit he said in favor of the shit he did is pretty well justified; they contradict each other pretty consistently.
