A former gym teacher has reached a settlement with a California public school district, after claiming she was wrongfully fired when she refused to lie to parents about their child’s pronoun preference and hide her religious beliefs.
Jessica Tapia will receive $360,000 from the Jurupa Unified School District after she was fired in 2022 and accused of proselytizing during class.
The teacher said the district accused her of not calling a student by their preferred pronouns, but denies ever being asked by a student to do so in the first place.
She claimed the district directed her to refer to students by their preferred gender pronouns, refrain from publicly posting her faith and opinions on social media, and refrain from discussing her religious beliefs or the Bible with students, which she refused to do.
‘What happened to me can happen to anybody, and I want the next teacher to know that it is worth it to take a stand for what is right,’ Tapia said.
