The school, for its part, paid the $60,000 while insisting no evidence of wrongdoing was found on the part of other educators, Breitbart reported.

Leo Soell, the fifth grade teacher who was born a female, complained co-workers used “she,” “lady,” and “Miss Soell” repeatedly, instead of the preferred masculine terms, which were made known after a coming-out as a transgender last September, Breitbart reported.
