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.
Oh. Is now having your nickname/preferred name used a special need?
no its not, its common decency. My statement simply showcases that a teacher does not just have to teach their subject and ignore all other unrelated issues SINCE THERE ARE SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS.
Your common decency is only common in your region. Different regions have different ideas of what is common decency.
In some parts of the world, common decency is to give the name you expect to be used when writing it down for someone else to make use of it.
And if some students have special needs, then the teacher also needs to be hired with proper information and resources given to them by the school.
Special needs kids need an environment properly suited to their needs. Anything else would be negligence.
In some parts of the world, common decency is to give the name you expect to be used when writing it down for someone else to make use of it.
Yes, I agree, it is common decency for children to be able to choose their own name if they don’t like the one they were given.
And they should be allowed to change it officially. If they can’t, then go fix that issue first.
