A teacher in Virginia fired for refusing to use masculine pronouns for a female high school student said to identify as male is suing the local school board for wrongful dismissal.
The French teacher’s attorneys at the Alliance Defending Freedom said in a statement that the superintendent of West Point Public Schools in West Point, Virginia, east of Richmond, ordered language educator Peter Vlaming to stop “avoiding the use of male pronouns” to refer to the female student, even when she wasn’t present.
