"A three-judge panel of the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has declared that Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) in Maryland was within its rights to require teachers to refer to students by “transgender” names and pronouns, rejecting substitute teacher Kimberly Polk’s First Amendment lawsuit."
"The Washington Post reports that, in November 2022, Polk requested a religious accommodation exempting her from the district’s “gender identity” mandate, which she said violated her religious beliefs as a Christian. A compliance coordinator initially proposed options, such as having her only teach preschool and elementary classes, but the request was denied a month later, prompting her to stop substitute teaching entirely."
