The LGBTQ conquest of our nation’s public schools is nearly complete. Teachers are also being punished for refusing to embrace the trash, as young children are forced to learn radical propaganda.
One Kansas public school teacher, Pamela Ricard, recently filed a lawsuit against USD 475 Geary County School District and Fort Riley Middle School, after they allegedly suspended her for not using a young trans student’s “preferred pronouns.”
Newsweek.com reported on the incident and ensuing lawsuit, writing that Ricard “was officially suspended under the district’s bullying and diversity and inclusion policies,” and “was also denied the religious exemption she requested related to the district’s newly required practice to use students’ preferred names.”
The alleged incident happened in the Spring of 2021, right around the time when school administrators “began issuing ‘diversity and equity’ training and emails to middle school teachers directing them to use students’ preferred names” rather than their legal names as marked down in school records.
Ricard however is a Christian woman who holds that God assigns only one of the two genders to children when they are born. Ricard chose to use her legal name to describe a biological female student, trans man, in order to avoid having to admit her trans identity.
Ricard’s attorney, Josh Ney explained that the teacher referred to the student as “Miss” followed by her legal name. Ney stated that, in that way, Ricard thought she was respecting “the student while also not violating Ricard’s own religious convictions.”
Though word of the wrong pronoun usage got out and “she was reprimanded and suspended for three days.” According to the lawsuit, Ricard violated school district policies concerning “bullying by staff; diversity and inclusion; and staff-student relations prohibiting harassment and bullying of students by staff.”
Ricard’s complaint added that Fort Riley Middle School did not have “a formal policy regarding student preferred name and pronoun use at the time of Ricard’s April 2021 suspension.” Still they chalked up calling trans boy “Miss” to bullying.
Ricard’s suit alleges that in suspending her, the school district and the middle school have violated her first amendment rights and her right to due process. Ricard appealed against her suspension. She sought religious exemption from the school district for her protests against the policy, which was denied three more times.
The suit alleges that in such a way, her religious beliefs were violated by the school’s policies.
Newsweek summed up the suit, stating, “Ricard is suing the school board, its Superintendent Reginald Eggleston and Fort Riley Middle School Principal Kathleen Brennan, alleging the district’s actions violated Ricard’s constitutional rights to free speech, free exercise of religion, due process and equal protection under the law.”
With her lawsuit, we wish Ricard every success. Strong Christians are directly at odds with LGBTQ activism. They need to be strong. Bravo to her.
