Shawnee Mission Teacher Lawsuit Claims Leftist, Pronoun & BLM Retaliation

Today we share more deets on suburban school drama and complaints from a teacher over alleged political mandates from administrators.

Here's the word . . .

"A Shawnee Mission School District teacher who made a splash a year and a half ago with an op-ed critical of the district’s diversity, equity and inclusion training, has now sued the district, saying it violated her freedom of speech and religion.

"The suit seeks unspecified damages and several injunctions claiming she’s suffered emotional distress and mental anguish and that her career has been “irreparably damaged” by the district’s response.

"Administrators violated her rights by requiring her to use words “endorsing and supporting the fiction that boys can become girls and girls can become boys, or that one can disavow his or her sex because one feels like it,” according to the 102-page suit."

We noted as much a few weeks ago but this passage offers a new perspective . . . 

"She contended the training was anti-white and racist, and that she opposed Black Lives Matter workshops with “propaganda videos.” Such training presented a “leftist” ideology and a progressive liberal point of view, the suit says.

"After her objections, she contends the district retaliated by disciplining her for allegedly using the wrong pronouns with a student. Sullivan said the administration gave her a written reprimand, monitored her team meetings, made her workplace “hostile” and stripped her of her AP classes."
