You love to see good things happen to brave people:

A Virginia school board has agreed to pay $575K in damages and attorneys fees to a former high school teacher who was fired for refusing to use a transgender student’s requested pronouns.

In addition to Monday’s financial settlement, West Point School Board agreed to change its policies and clear teacher Peter Vlaming’s firing from its record.

So, to recap, they have to pay him a ton of money:

…and they gotta wipe his firing from their records:

It’s a great victory! And it’s been many years coming:

[Alliance Defending Freedom] attorneys filed the lawsuit in September 2019, after Vlaming — who had taught in the district for nearly seven years — was fired a year earlier for failing to use a student’s requested pronouns that were ‘inconsistent with the student’s sex.’ While Vlaming tried to accommodate the student by using the student’s new name, school officials ordered the teacher to stop avoiding the use of the requested pronouns.

The school district, meanwhile, said it was pleased to have reached a settlement in the case:

‘Our focus is on all students, and our goal is to continue to build positive relationships throughout our school division community,’ said schools superintendent Larry L. Frazier Jr.

Sounds like the words of someone who just had to pay $600,000 for violating free speech!
