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.
Unsurprisingly this Jordan seems to be following another Jordan’s footsteps … “Jordan Peterson, the self-proclaimed anti-political correctness warrior whose refusal to use gender-neutral pronouns has sparked a vicious battle at the University of Toronto campus.” Archived source
Ironically, Jordan became seen as a gender-neutral name in the 1970s and onwards.
Lobsterman would judge their gender by the length of their hair then I guess. :p
Which has made bigots named Jordan increasingly unhappy ever since
Ha ha ‘burnt peter’.
