(Worthy News) – A Virginia high school French teacher who was fired for not referring to a transgender student by his preferred pronouns is now suing the school board.
Toward the end of the 2017-2018 school year, Peter Vlaming, then a French teacher at West Point High School in Williamsburg, Virginia, learned that one of his students would begin identifying as male, according to a press release from the Alliance Defending Freedom, a nonprofit Christian legal group that is aiding Vlaming. Despite Vlaming’s efforts to accommodate the student, he claims, he was fired by the school board in December 2018 for refusing, based on his religious beliefs, to refer to the student using male pronouns.
