Do these schools have some kind of quota from the Bidens on how many kids they have to turn tranny?
I’m sure Jim Jordan will get to the bottom of that soon. (That is sarcasm.)
A Christian former teacher in California filed a new federal lawsuit against a public school district Wednesday, claiming she was wrongfully fired after refusing to lie to parents about their children’s gender identities.
Jessica Tapia, a former high school phys ed teacher in Riverside, California, is suing Jurupa Unified School District superintendent Trenton Hansen and Assistant Superintendent Daniel Brooks, alleging she was deprived of her free exercise of religion and freedom of speech.
The lawsuit, filed on Tapia’s behalf by Advocates for Faith & Freedom in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also alleges a violation of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act, a violation of Title VIII and retaliation in violation of the First Amendment.
Yeah, I’m sure it’s a First Amendment violation, but after the Twitter Files, any appeal to the First Amendment comes across as potentially insane.
Despite her two-decade involvement with the district as both a student and a teacher, Tapia was fired for alleged misconduct after the district accused her of posting offensive content on her Instagram account, referencing her faith during conversations with students and improperly expressing her opinions on issues pertaining to the LGBTQ community, the filing says.
They will counter that this is a Constitutional violation – “church and state,” lol.
They will win.
This is all a nonstarter.
In the very best case scenario, she gets a payoff. But that seems unlikely.
Following a notice of unprofessional conduct, the district presented Tapia with “A Plan of Assistance and Directives,” which included several written and verbal directives requiring the teacher to “lie to parents about their children’s gender identity, to refrain from posting content on her social media pages that would ‘adversely affect’ her relationship with students and banned her from expressing her religious beliefs with students,” according to the lawsuit.
Tapia said she was unable to comply with several of the directives due to her religious beliefs and requested an accommodation, but the district terminated her employment Jan. 30.
Advocates for Faith & Freedom, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting constitutional and religious liberties, said the termination came after Tapia also refused to “participate in harmful gender-affirming school policies, such as allowing students to use a bathroom or locker room that does not match their biological sex.”
The ACLU is just going to take the opposite stance, and say she was doing the rights-violating.
None of these spooks about “rights and freedoms” have any validity at all beyond the guiding philosophy of the ruling powers, which makes the whole discussion a total waste of time.
“People of faith should be allowed to maintain their personal beliefs without fear of losing their job,” Mariah Gondeiro, vice president and legal counsel for Advocates for Faith and Freedom, said in a statement. “Jessica Tapia was not dismissed for any wrongdoing, rather, she was dismissed for her Christian beliefs. This is a clear violation of our Constitutional rights.
A longer interview
“We need more educators like her who grasp the fact that parents are partners and the final arbiters of their children, not obstacles to work around. Jessica Tapia represents the values and integrity of educators across our country who are standing up for their beliefs, not backing down. We are proud to stand with Jessica and will continue to advocate for her and her values.”
“What has happened to me can happen to anybody,” Tapia added in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. “My story is not just mine. It is the story of every teacher of morals and faith. It is the story of every parent whose first priority is protecting their children.”
At this point, talking about “protecting the children” is like talking about “preventing the sinking of the USS Maine.”
It’s a done deal and the discussion of it is really just grating at this point.
The government decides what “rights” are.
You do not have rights over your kids, teachers who don’t want to turn your kids into trannies do not have a right to work at schools, and any attempt to do so undercover is going to result in immediate termination, as we see here.
This story will probably get a lot of attention because the teacher in question is physically attractive. Then every boomer will be shocked once again when nothing happens.
It’s tiresome.
