Christian teachers are now under attack!
A Christian school teacher filed a federal lawsuit after getting fired for refusing to identify a transgender by their preferred pronouns.
Vivian Geraghty was reportedly fired from Jackson Memorial Middle School after she refused to violate her religious beliefs.
The result of this lawsuit may be a key court case that will serve as a precedent for future cases.
It's unconstitutional for schools to implement radical ideologies and force teachers to conform.
We've filed suit on behalf of Ohio teacher Vivian Geraghty. Teachers shouldn't be compelled to violate their conscience by saying things that aren't true. https://t.co/LbcnMHi2CU

Here’s What the Post Millennial reported:
A federal lawsuit was filed Monday on behalf of a teacher who refused to violate her religious beliefs and participate in the social transition of two students who identified as transgender and wished to be referred to by new names and pronouns.
The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed a federal lawsuit Monday on behalf of an Ohio teacher who refused to violate her religious beliefs and participate in the social transition of two students who identified as transgender and wished to be referred to by new names and pronouns.
Vivian Geraghty was forced to resign from teaching English at Jackson Memorial Middle School in August after Jackson Local School District officials tried to force her to speak in a way that would violate her sincerely held religious beliefs, an action which she believes was unconstitutional.
According to an ADF press release, Geraghty’s sincerely held religious beliefs and scientific understanding are that a person is male or female based on sex, not personal identity, and participating in a student’s social transition violates those beliefs by forcing her to communicate messages she believes are untrue and harmful to the student.
