The Virginia Supreme Court upheld the reinstatement of a Virginia teacher who was suspended for refusal to use transgender pronouns. It never should have reached this point.

Tanner Cross, a gym teacher, had cited religious reasons for his refusal to refer to transgender students by their preferred pronouns. At a Loudoun County School Board meeting, Cross had spoken out against the board policy requiring staff to do exactly that. Soon after, he was placed on leave.
