Virginia teacher sues school after being fired for not using transgender student's pronouns.
has filed a lawsuit against school officials and the board.
According to the suit filed Monday in King William County, using the male pronouns would have"violated" Vlaming's"conscience" and went against his religious beliefs, so he called the student by his preferred name during class and avoided using pronouns altogether. The suit also states that Vlaming was accused of using female pronouns when discussing the student to other people and during one incident in class, Vlaming referred to the student as"her." Vlaming acknowledged the incident saying that it was unintentional and he addressed it with the student after class, according to the lawsuit.
"Defendants did not have any written policy regarding using pronouns. ... Defendants made up an uncompromising interpretation of their policies to compel Mr. Vlaming to take sides in an ongoing public debate regarding gender dysphoria and use pronouns that express an objectively untrue ideological message." the suit reads.
