A California school district has settled a lawsuit with a teacher
who says she was fired over her religious beliefs after she
refused to use students' preferred pronouns, attorneys say.
 
The Jurupa Unified School District in Riverside County agreed to
pay $360,000 to Jessica Tapia, her attorneys at Advocates for
Faith & Freedom said in a May 14 news release.
 
The settlement closes a federal lawsuit Tapia filed last May that
alleged the district's decision to fire Tapia violated her civil
and 1st Amendment rights, according to the lawsuit.
 

Was she fired because she refused to use he/her or he/her/god knows
what? 

 
I am an Attack Helicopter and shall henceforth be referred to as
such. I can remember when this pronoun discussion first started up
many years ago. People deriding it often said they should be
referred to as attack helicopters henceforth instead of he or she.
 

My question is of course designed to see if her "crime" was the
same one that brought Jordan Peterson to prominence or something
else? (Peterson said he'd use he/her as desired but wouldn't use a
made up pronoun) 

 

 
But “attack helicopter” isn’t pronouns
