Va. Teacher Wins - Read This

Peter Vlaming (credit Alliance Defending Freedom)

In 2018 Virginia teacher Peter Vlaming was fired for refusing to use a student's preferred pronouns. He referred to the student by name and would not use the biological girl's demand of he/his/him.

Vlaming sued and eventually prevailed in a case heard by the Virginia Supreme Court.

Read this article about that win.

Is any of this nonsense happening in Richland 2? Are teachers under a directive to refer to students by their preferred identity, not their biological gender?

If you are a teacher, I suspect you fear for your job and well-being, if you buck the system. Is the DEI Department running (ruining!) your life? Could you afford a four-year court battle and possibly be out-of-work?

How can I say this?

In Illinois I refused to comply with a subpoena in a Federal court case. A deputy had filed a wrongful termination case against the sheriff. I got sucked into it because of my local blog, for which some deputies were feeding me "the dirt". The sheriff was trying to plug the leaks.

I filed a Motion to Quash pro se. To make a long story short, I won. I was well aware that the Federal Magistrate could have jailed me until I identified the deputies. I guess I'd still be sitting in jail, because they counted on me not to "out" them.

The Magistrate's words now, years later, still warm my heart. "Mr. Philpott, you have won your Motion."
