Kansas teacher sues district for requiring her to address students by their preferred names

A Kansas teacher is suing her school district superintendent, board members and principal after being suspended for not using a student’s preferred name.

Pamela Ricard, who teaches math at Fort Riley Middle School, says she refuses to use the preferred names and pronouns of transgender and nonbinary students because it violates her religious beliefs.

After being disciplined multiple times for refusing to use a student’s preferred name, Ricard filed a federal lawsuit against the Geary County Schools Unified School District on Monday.
