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.

    Well that’s because if Florida didn’t exist, Texas would be the worst state. I don’t know what state you’re in now, but it sounds like it’s not Florida, Texas, Ohio, or Iowa…in that order.

      I mean Florida just looks bad because all of their court stuff is public. Saying that Texas is the second worst state is just peremptorily disqualifying Alabama Mississippi Georgia Kentucky and like 7 other states from fair competition.
