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.

    OR, just bear with me…

    Call them the name they’d prefer to be called because it’s easier than making a scene and nobody actually gaf.

        You could use more time outside, and less watching movies

              So they have to default on yours instead?

                  You’re talking of specific people then, not “People” in general.
