BIG WIN for Elementary Teacher Who Refused to Accept Insanity of Trans Children
I love to see things like this. It really gives me hope that we can still save America, as bleak as it looks.
The truth is that our country isn’t as bad as the media makes it out to be. We really only hear of the bad that happens because that’s what sells in the media.
Always remember, the media wants us to be scared. That’s what works for them. We even saw it with the Project Veritas video where the CNN insider said that they took away the ȻOVID counter that was on the screen and how that affected their ratings. Once they learned it had a negative impact on their ratings, they put it right back up on the screen so that everyone would know just how many people had died from the (forbidden illness).
Byron Tanner Cross stood up before the school board against a new policy which would force Loudoun County Public School teachers to “allow gender-expansive or transgender student to use their chosen name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence, regardless of the name and gender recorded” in the student’s permanent educational record.
“My name is Tanner Cross, and I’m speaking out of love for those who suffer with gender dysphoria. 60 Minutes this past Sunday interviewed over 30 young people who transitioned, but they felt lead astray, because lack of pushback or how easy it was to make physical changes to their bodies in just three months. They are now de-transitioning. It is not my intention to hurt anyone, but there are certain truths we must face when ready. We condemn school policies like 8040 and 8035, because it will damage children, defile the holy image of God. I love all of my students, but I will never lie to them, regardless of the consequences. I’m a teacher, but I serve God first, and I will not affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa, because it’s against my religion. It’s lying to a child. It’s abuse to a child. And, it’s sinning against our God.”
Just two days after Cross made that speech, he was put on administrative leave “pending an investigation of allegations that he engaged in conduct that had a disruptive impact on the operations of Leesburg Elementary School.”
On Tuesday, a judge ruled that the suspension was unconstitutional and that the way they handled the matter was vindictive. The judge also said that he should be reinstated immediately.

Judge James Plowman says Cross "was speaking as a citizen, not in his official capacity," as a teacher. It occurred "during non-working hours and at a forum where public comment was invited."

School system said it suspended Cross NOT for what he said, but for the disruption it caused. 6 emails from parents were received. Judge Plowman: "There was simply an absence of evidence," and that "no actual disruption to school operations occurred."

Judge Plowman: "The Plaintiff's interest in expressing his First Amendment speech outweighs the Defendants interest in restricting the same," and that his comments "did not serve to meaningfully disrupt the operation or services of Leesburg Elementary School."

By suspending Tanner Cross, and forbidding him from coming on school property, @LCPSOfficial "adversely affected his constitutionally protected speech."
