Connecticut teacher sues after being disciplined for criticizing 'identity, privilege' training

[seafoam1 2,802]

 

A Connecticut teacher is suing Hartford Public Schools for allegedly violating his First Amendment rights after he disagreed with an "Identity and Privilege" training.

John Grande claimed in a federal lawsuit that Hartford school officials "fabricated" evidence during a "witch hunt" investigation against him after he disagreed with the training. The Hartford Public Schools district implemented the training in 2020 titled "Identity and Privilege" via Zoom as mandatory professional development. 

Grande was a gym teacher for the school system for over 30 years.

"I was targeted for punishment by school district administrators because I refused to endorse their agenda to push critical race theory on teachers," said Grande, who is filing the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut.

No, we don't.

Don't you get that the DEI nonsense going on is a religion too and they are forcing people to genuflect to it?  Putting "prayer" from the Bible back into schools is no different.  Stop with that indoctrination crap.  Church and state shall and should be separate.

[weepaws 3,157]

I agree, no religion should be allowed in schools, no muslim crap, Buddhist crap, no catholic crap, no hendu crap, no girls are boys, and boys are girls crap , but praying to the one true Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is a very good thing, and bible study and prayers to the one true God shouldn’t only be allowed back into schools, I hope they make it a must, if Trump wins he’s going to do just that.  I hope. 

HTH.  Ps what is being taught in schools today is wicked, I want that crap to stop, unlike most.

No religion in schools! Except Christianity. 

Fun Fact: Kids are still allowed to pray in school if they do it on their own time. What was struck down by SCOTUS was school lead prayers that students were at a teacher's direction and that they were required to participate in.

Peace, Comfort, Joy isn’t stupid, what kids are currently being taught in schools should be considered a crime, I’m sure you have no problem with what being taught in schools today, bless that teacher for standing up for what’s wrong in schools, shame on you for consider it okay for schools to teach crap to kids, you’re a parent that doesn’t have a problem with your kids being apart of the problem I’m sure.  

HTH.  God bless. I hope.

No not in all schools, many schools don’t allow it, many kids hold their own prayer groups, that have been mandated that they stop, why because the unrighteousness of parents like yourself don’t want it to take place.  

The world today see it this way, right is wrong, wrong is right, the Bible tells us so.  

HTH.  God bless, I hope

Look, I’m a Christian but I don’t force my beliefs on anyone. Just like my politics…BUT, RLLD has a point. Sh!t in school and society has rapidly declined when Christian beliefs were vilified, ridiculed and rejected.

I agree. Maybe I misunderstood. My parents gave me a choice of high schools. Proviso West in Illinois or a private school. I went private as I knew a lot of bad about the public school. Plus, I liked what I heard about the strict teachers at the private school. I had 2 older brothers kicked out of that school for discipline reasons. 

So I figured I was already religeous and wanted to follow the responsible path of being held accountable in life. So...I'm in the same ballpark as you.

Told to share your testimony with all , it’s in the the Bible that Christians know is true.  Shame on you if your not, it’s one thing Jesus said to do, maybe you’re one of those catholic/Christian lol.

 bible study and prayers to the one true God

Bible study?  The Bible is a political work of man.  It has been modified hundreds of times to appease the masses and gain more followers. These are irrefutable facts.  When you study the "Bible" do you study all of the books, including those that were removed?  If it was the true word of God why was it modified so many times?  I guess God was confused and changed his mind alot?

1 Corinthians 13:9&10. We don’t know everything, and our prophecies are not complete. But what is perfect will someday appear, and what isn’t perfect will then disappear.  Amen. 

Proverbs 28:26.  If you think you know it all, you’re a fool.  Amen. 

Romans 3:22. This righteousness is given through Faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.  Amen

1 Corinthians 13:12.  For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror, then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, then I shall know fully, even as i am fully known.  Amen. 

Jeremiah 23:38a.  But don’t pretend that you know all the answers yourself and talk like you know it all.  Amen. 

John 13:7. Jesus said, You don’t understand now what I’m doing, but it will be clear enough to you later.  Amen. 

1 John 1:7-10.  But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have Fellowship One With another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son clean us from all sin. 

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the Truth is not in us.  

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to clean us from all unrighteousness.  

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not In Us.  

When will you confess your sins, when will you repent, when will you accept/confess Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior?  

Poster above when? Philippians 2:10&11. That every knee will bow to the name of Jesus, everyone in the heaven, On Earth, and under the earth.  And everyone will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and bring Glory to God the Father. 

 .  Amen. 

HTH. God bless you, I hope

It is horrible that an average citizen expressing concerns over the woke mob takeover of education has to fear risking everything.   The idea that we live in a free society is preposterous.   Sure, as long as you are bootlicking for this new authoritarianism agenda, every thing is fine.  But you cross it, be prepared for the wrath.
