, gym teacher was placed on leave days after he spoke out against a proposed school policy that says educators should refer to students by the pronouns that align with their gender identity.
"I love all of my students but I will never lie to them regardless of the consequences," he said, according to a."I'm a teacher but I serve God first and I will not affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa because it's against my religion, it's lying to my child, it's abuse to a child and it's sinning against our God."that talked, in part, about young people who once identified as trans but changed their mind and detransitioned.
Byron "Tanner" Cross, a physical education teacher at Leesburg Elementary School, speaks at a school board meeting in Loudon County, Pa., last week.Two days after the meeting, Cross was informed via a letter from the school that he was on paid administrative leave.
The attorney said the school violated Cross' free speech rights and demanded that they reinstate him as a teacher. He also announced on Tuesday that a lawsuit had been filed on behalf of Cross against the school board and superintendents to try and halt the suspension.
How many times are you going to tweet this story?
If he do not like the policy. Just leave!!
Why can't we be respected for what we see in front of us? Why should I call you a female when you're a man as I am? We'll soon hear people saying we must call them clock! Can't call someone fat when they are in fact fat but we must call a female a man?
Good for him
It is a time to abandon he/she and replace them with it.
I must have missed that one while reading the Bible.
It may be awkward at first until the he/she/them/they settles down. Those pronouns have been with us since forever? I’m not sure them/they works. I liked the “ms” although it has barely stuck. I’ve just tried to use the pronoun once someone has decided on their identity
If your company created a policy that you don’t like, then leave! He can go work at a Christian school and make half the money.
He thinks his personal opinion counts. Stay home mister!
Sorry....it's enough trouble remembering your first name let alone what your damn pronoun is.
He happens to be doing what any sane teacher would do in a classroom; upholding the minimum standard of the English language. There is a big difference between a pronoun & proper noun. 1/
Why do we have such double standards, they can identify as one gender or another but I can't hand them a beer to drink because they are too young to drink.
Thank God (Me) for Real Mem
I will not use your idiot pronouns . Nobody did this shit in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s
GOD bless and reward this brave man. You have to be brave now just for something that is common sense. Shame of those who fired him . Shame of the parents and those who lie to the kid about his/her gender. Those who are confusing children’s with their gender are evil or ignorant
Good. The man shouldn’t be around children if he can’t treat them with respect.
Why on earth do they still have gym classes anyway? Does anyone really go? The only thing I learned from gym class was how to skip a class.
Good
Byron needs to mind Byron’s own business and teach the kids physical education. Byron is not a hired theologian with the job of reforming the kids against their parents will. Something is gravely wrong with people like Byron.
I don't disagree w/the teacher. Gender identity, like sex is a private thing that has no place in schools. Teachers are there to teach not become entangled in students private matters. That's adults setting boundaries not discrimination. 1/
Cool, after he's done being on leave can he just leave forever
I was called a pussy by my gym teacher before being called by other genders was cool.
Reinstate this teachers job. 'He' is correct.
If your biologically male teenager, who when in his mother's womb was identified by a doctor as a male and at his birth you and the mother agreed 'our son' is born and didn't name him after his grandmother or a favorite aunt, then it is your fault and your the haters! Stupidity!!
Could just use their names.
Bye! 🤗🌈
So much for free speech!
I’m from Loudoun county and can tell you we don’t want his hate here. He can find a job elsewhere, not in a public school.
Sinning against 'our God' maaaay need a second look.
He voiced his opinion and agree or disagree he is entitled to his position. Now if the policy is set and he ignores it then he could be placed on leave, but for having an opinion
He speaks facts
Teacher needs to go to court and seek an injunction.
Fire his ass.
And he immediately ran to Fox News to complain about how he’s being treated. Forget him.
They/Stupid
Stupid antiquated desert religion.
The teacher is right and righteous.
