English teacher Vivian Geraghty, 26, won a $450,000 settlement from the Jackson Local School District, her legal team announced Wednesday. She will not be returning to work for the district.
Two years ago, Geraghty was unceremoniously fired by Jackson Memorial Middle School when two students asked Geraghty to use new names that aligned “with their new gender identities rather than their legal names.” One of the students also requested that teachers use a preferred pronoun that did not reflect the student’s biological sex, her lawsuit said.
Geraghty went to the principal in hopes of reaching a solution, but the principal and his superior, the director of curriculum, instruction, and assessment, told her “she would be required to put her beliefs aside as a public servant,” according to the lawsuit. …
She was informed that if she would not participate, she must resign immediately, her lawsuit said. …
Geraghty and her legal team celebrated her settlement victory on Wednesday.

The $450,000 settlement covers damages and attorneys’ fees. …

Father, thank you for this victory. Move administrators to realize requiring the use of pronouns that do not reflect the gender of students. Protect the teachers who stand against this wrong usage and protect the students from this falsehood of changing sex.
Praise God for the Victory! This idealogy is Straight from Hell and it needs to stop! You can’t force a teacher to go against her beliefs to suit your whims! Let this Victory have a ripple effect around the world, I pray in Jesus Name! Amen!
