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.

    No. I have a low opinion on society’s ability to interact with and care for children with special needs. People don’t like different or can’t handle it randomly thrust upon them.

    Kids with special needs can be very amazing and creative, so there’s your wrong assumption this time.

    Here’s the thing though, you seem to have trouble understanding a different way of thought, so you paint it in a way that you can grasp it. Perhaps it’s you who should reevaluate their own view of interpreting things, such as my replies.
