ADF defends Indiana teacher who rejected his district’s transgender-inclusive policy

The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), an anti-LGBTQ hate group, has pounced on yet another opportunity to advocate against transgender students in schools. This time, ADF is defending an Indiana orchestra teacher who resigned rather than comply with his school’s policy requiring him to respect the gender identities of his students.

These assholes think that freedom means the right to be an asshole to people in professional capacity . And delude themselves into thinking we need to respect their bigotry which they laughably title" freedom of conscience " or "sincerely held beliefs "

Hey, I grew up in Indiana. It's sometimes very hard to tell the dicks from the cunts.

I think that this will be fairly difficult to argue based on religious grounds. And I would agree, that they shouldn’t be taking this case.

I think that the teacher has a right to their opinion, and can disagree with the ways that the transgender issues are being handled, but framing this, in the way they are is wrong, and likely to lose.

I do find the teachers solution of calling everyone indiscriminately by their last name to be a descent compromise, and wonder why that is an issue? So far it Seems I’m mostly just seeing the knee jerk reaction of the opposing side, and it will be interesting to see more details, from the POV of the teacher, and how they will argue it.

I call students whatever they ask me to call them, as long as it's within school regulations.  One student even insisted on being called the oncoming storm.  I was okay with that.  It's what he wanted, and it made him happy.  He thought it was funny, and thought I was the 'coolest teacher ever' (not only for calling him that, but for getting the reference).  He was a good student too, and aced my class.
