Teacher fired for refusing to lie to parents about gender transitions

Jessica Tapias, a California PE teacher, was fired for adhering to her Christian beliefs, Fox News reported. Tapias’ school district instituted a policy of hiding students’ gender transitions from their parents, and lying to them if needed. When it came to obeying the policies or remaining faithful to Christ, she stayed true to her beliefs.

“I knew immediately, like in my gut, in my heart, in my soul, that there was a decision I had to make because, you know, these two things were totally butting heads. I essentially had to pick one. Am I going to obey the district in the directive [sic] that are not lining up with… my own beliefs, convictions and faith? Or am I going to stay true…, choose my faith, choose to be obedient to… the way the Lord has called me to live. And so it was crazy to be in the position where I realized that I couldn’t be a Christian and a teacher.”
