TEACHERS
DON’T LIE
Received the following email and wanted to share it here.
| Dear Christine, A school district in Southern California is having to compensate a teacher who was fired for not going along with its so-called “transgender” policies, and one attorney says it’s a win for teachers of faith everywhere. According to American Family News, Jessica Tapia, a California public school teacher, was fired last year for refusing to call students by their preferred pronouns and refusing to allow them to use the restroom or locker room of their choice. She also refused to keep that sort of information secret from parents, according to the federal suit. The school district did not admit to doing anything wrong but has agreed to pay Tapia $285,000, plus an additional $75,000 for her attorneys’ fees. As part of the settlement, Tapia also agreed not to seek future employment with the district, and both sides agreed to not disparage each other or file future lawsuits. Tapia’s attorneys at Advocates for Faith and Freedom called this an incredible victory for their client and for teachers across America. “This just sends a message that teachers with religious beliefs are welcome in the public school system, and they can’t be shut out of the public system just because of their religious beliefs,” said legal counsel Bethany Onishenko. To help those who are willing stand up and refuse to push such ideologies on kids, Advocates for Faith and Freedom has created the “Teachers Don’t Lie” initiative, a legal resource for teachers to come and just learn about their rights or ask us any legal questions they have. I think this is great news on the religious freedom front and public school teachers can know that there is someone who has their back when it comes to defending their Christian rights in the classroom and on campus. You can help share this good news by forwarding this email to all your school teacher friends and anyone who works in public education. Sincerely, |
