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.

    That’s the church modernization strategy right there.

    Here are the rules you should follow the rules.

    Preacher, I disagree with the rules. The rules make me feel icky.

    You should just do your best end repent and give back in another ways. By the way this month’s tidings are a little light can you help us out.

      “I’ll have to answer to God for that, not to you.”

      How convenient. I’ll just sort out my abusive childhood myself I guess.
