This Teacher Was Fired for ‘Misgendering’ a Student. Who Could Be Next?

Last week, a Virginia school board voted unanimously to fire a teacher after he refused to comply with administrators’ orders to use a female student’s preferred masculine pronouns. The student “transitioned” over the summer and began identifying as a man.

This latest casualty in the culture wars raises the obvious question: Who could be next?

Peter Vlaming went to great lengths to accommodate the student without violating his Christian faith. He used the student’s new name to avoid upsetting the student, but refrained from using pronouns altogether in the student’s presence to avoid speaking against his belief that God created human beings male and female.

“I’m happy to avoid female pronouns not to offend because I’m not here to provoke,” Vlaming told the press, “but I can’t refer to a female as a male, and a male as a female in good conscience and faith.”

And here it starts just like I said... Wait until Canada makes laws saying you have to use the right pronouns or you will go to jail, not just lose your job, and then when that happened, best believe the US will implement this too...

The teacher also has some rights; hope he can find competent counsel and pursue them. Ridiculous situation.

People, if we ALL stand up to them, they will have no recourse but to back down. Every teacher in that school should do the same thing. Call it what it is. Call yourself a man, but do not expect us to call you one.
