The Wisconsin English teacher, Jordan Cernek, argues in the suit that the district violated his freedom of religion and free speech in mandating the use of the students’ preferred names and pronouns.
A high school English teacher is suing a Wisconsin school district, alleging it did not renew his contract last year because he refused to use the preferred names of two transgender students.
Jordan Cernek’s federal lawsuit alleges the Argyle School District violated his constitutional and civil rights to be free of religious discrimination and to be able to express himself according to his religious beliefs when it did not renew his contract because he refused to abide by a requirement that teachers use the names or pronouns requested by students.
“It’s against my religion to use preferred pronouns”
Also that religion: hi my pronouns are He/Him CAPITALIZED please. Please capitalize them when you use them.
🤷♀️
I don’t view capitalized pronouns as a different set of pronouns.
But you still care about their capitalization regardless
Me? I don’t. I’m not Christian.
If you only refer to one being in the entire universe with a capital H when calling that being He, I’d say it was a different pronoun from he.
I don’t use uppercase pronouns when talking about gods because I don’t worship them. That doesn’t mean I’m misgendering them.
It was a general ‘you’ and you (specific this time) said it wasn’t a different set of pronouns. You (again, specifically you personally) weren’t talking about misgendering.
“He” is clearly a different pronoun from “he” if only one being in the universe is referred to as “He.”
