Suspended Teacher Who Refused Preferred Pronouns Wins Major Award

Recent Changes Spark Controversy

In recent years, significant changes have swept the world, sparking both praise for progress and criticism for perceived regression.

Teacher’s Stand for Beliefs

Pamela Richard, a Kansas teacher, took a stand for her beliefs despite risking suspension. Working at Geary County Schools, Richard refused to use a preferred pronoun for a student, resulting in a three-day suspension.

Policy Conflict Unfolds

Richard’s suspension stemmed from her refusal to address a biologically female student by anything other than the student’s legal last name. A school counselor had informed her of the student’s preference for a different first name and gender identification.

Compromise Attempts Fail

In an attempt to compromise, Richard referred to the student as “Miss [legal/enrolled last name].” However, this was deemed inadequate by the school.

Legal Action Ensues

Richard pursued legal action, asserting that the policy violated her conscience as a Christian. Her beliefs aligned with traditional Christian and biblical views on human biology and gender identity.

Legal Victory Achieved

In May, Richard won a $95,000 award in federal court, affirming her right to communicate with parents in accordance with her beliefs. Additionally, she was granted the freedom to abstain from using pronouns inconsistent with students’ biological sex.

Policy Revisions Ordered

The court ruled against the school’s policy that prohibited staff from disclosing students’ preferred names or pronouns to parents.

School Response Lacking

The school has not provided any statements following the lawsuit.
