(WHAS 11) – A former central Indiana teacher who lost his job after citing religious reasons for disagreeing with a policy compelling teachers to call transgender students by their preferred names rather than birth names has sued the district.

And what is a teacher to do if a student says they want to be called something vulgar, Satan, DogS&$t, etc. Come on kids will make up something for one teacher to call them and another for the next teacher. What about the school, are they then also going to comply and change their school records to them wanting to be called Principal assh)$e or other obvious outrageous name. Where does it start adults? Or are you going to let kids whom you are messing up their minds anyway, mess you up, in return? Good grief I hope we get some officials with backbone and good ol fashion conservative religion soon.
