A Virginia teacher will receive more than $500,000 from a school board after he was fired for refusing to use a transgender students’ preferred pronouns. Peter Vlaming, a French teacher at West Point High School, filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the district in 2018, claiming that the school district had violated his freedom of speech and freedom of religion when they decided that he needed to use the students’ preferred pronouns, as reported by The Virginian-Pilot.
