This case, it's on the teacher & pretty cut/dry, IMO...firing was justified

He was fine calling the student by the student's preferred name...so why didn't he just do that? He could have simply avoided pronounces at all. It wasn't an occasional accident...he purposely used the wrong pronoun because he knew it was hurtful. He's trying to inject his "religious" beliefs where they have no place. He shouldn't be in a school, IMO...
