The Federalist The Virginia Supreme Court affirmed a lower court’s decision on Monday to reinstate Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) teacher Tanner Cross after he was suspended for speaking out about a controversial transgender policy proposal.
The school district first fired Cross after he opposed proposals that would force educators to use students’ “preferred pronouns” instead of acknowledging their sex.
“I’m a teacher, but I serve God first. I will not affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa, because it’s against my religion,” Cross said. “It’s lying to a child, it’s abuse to a child, and it’s sinning against our God.”
