A Virginia teacher was fired for declining to use “he” or “him” to describe a high school student who claimed to switch from being female to male before the 2018-19 school year.

The unnamed student was in the class of Peter Vlaming, a French teacher, at West Point High School last year. The student showed up this year claiming to have become a different person and insisted that she be referred to as a male.
