Fired for accidentally calling a transgender student 'she,' teacher takes case to court

Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for making us aware that Virginia school district in West Point, Virginia stripped the French teacher Peter Vlaming has two great passions—teaching and French. of the ability to impart these passions in high school classrooms.
Virginia school district in West Point, Virginia stripped when it fired him for not using pronouns preferred by a transgender student.

"But a Virginia school district stripped the French teacher of the ability to impart these passions in high school classrooms when it fired him for not using pronouns preferred by a transgender student.
Vlaming had taught French for seven years at West Point High School, less than three hours outside Washington, D.C., between Richmond and Norfolk, Virginia.
Near the end of the 2018 school year, one of his students, a 14-year-old girl, gave Vlaming a handwritten letter saying that she was transgender, had adopted a masculine name, and wanted to use it in French class.
The West Point School Board voted 5-0 on Dec. 6, 2018, to fire Vlaming, saying his refusal to follow orders to use male pronouns in referring to the transgender student “harassed and discriminated against the student” and meant Vlaming was “insubordinate.”
In an interview with The Daily Signal, Vlaming said he had worked to help the student while staying true to his own conscience.
“I wasn’t using feminine pronouns to refer to her because I didn’t want to provoke her,” Vlaming said, adding: I understood her point of view and respected the fact that she could choose to think what she wants to think. And it’s not my place as a teacher to pronounce any position I might have on the subject, but I couldn’t in good conscience designate her via third person pronouns as a boy."
It is ludicrous IMHO for West Point High School to claim that a 'transgender' wannabe is not a girl.

Hell,I accidentally use the improper personal pronoun from time to time, even though the person is exactly what they appear or claim to be. So what's the big deal? Pelosi happens. These people are taking things way too far.

We must adapt to using sensitivity for others, a friend of my wife has a son, that's is going thru this situation, I just keep my mouth shut, and let the parents do all the talking to the youngster.
