Teacher Who Refused To Use Students' Pronouns Award $450K

MASSILLON, Ohio (WCMH) — An Ohio school district will pay $450,000 to a middle school teacher who resigned for refusing to address two transgender students by their preferred names and pronouns.

Jackson Local School District reached a settlement in December with the teacher, Vivian Geraghty, after she claimed in a 2022 lawsuit that her First Amendment rights were violated when she was told to resign from a middle school language arts position.

The agreement follows a ruling from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in August that said forcing Geraghty to use students’ preferred names amounts to “compelled speech” and that the school’s “pronoun practice was not neutral.”

Small price to pay to get rid of a shitty teacher. Imagine being some vulnerable trans kid and your asshole teacher doesn't respect you enough to use your preferred pronouns. That ex-teacher probably attends some trashy megachurch.

[quote]2022 lawsuit that her First Amendment rights were violated

And the student didn't deserve to their rights honored? How hard would it have been to accommodate one student for one second time? That's your job, honey.

Let me guess: she's white, right? Expect the FOX media tour and Nancy Mace photo op in 5,4.....

Aside from pronouns, don't these kid have a real name?

Why didn't they bring this to us?

Bullshit that a teacher has first amendment rights to harass kids.

She’s Pentecostal, and the court ruled that her religious beliefs outweigh the kids’ beliefs about their identities. This will be par for the course for the next 4 years, not only for transgender people, but for anyone who does not have conservative Christian beliefs.

I'd be willing to refuse to use preferred pronouns for $450,000.

She probably loses her mind if someone calls God a “she,” “them,” or “it,” because God is a biological male.

Their "rights"? Rights to what? Please explain!

Good. The pronoun and trans shit I’d over coming the end of this month. The new administration is putting in new guidelines. No more changing sex on passports either. They’re invalidated. Americans face had another gaslighting from the woke brigade. Sit down and shut the fuck up. You’re a kid. You get to demand nothing.

Middle school age students aren't "trans". Demanding to be called "they/them" is attention seeking behavior, and schools shouldn't be feeding into it.

by Anonymousreply 14January 5, 2025 8:47 PM

These middle school transgendtards have probably moved on and are living another "truth" now, whatever the latest identity trend is.

Can anyone tell us who invented this "Pronoun" system?

You don't address people by pronouns.

A person's "Preferred NAME can't be a pronoun, it's Mary or Jack. Believe who believe in pronouns are being conned, The teacher was right, don't play into this bull shit.

I forgot. Where exactly in the Bill of Rights is it guaranteed that you must get your choice of pronouns used?

How come you can’t just tell the kid what they wanna hear and then walk away and shake your head?

The MAGATS are here and they're not leaving.

by Anonymousreply 27January 7, 2025 2:17 PM

When you hear something that might be challenging, it's easiest to use the MAGAt accusation as your response. It's just as easy as accusing someone as being " woke."
