Here's the abridged version,
Kluge claims the school district forced him to resign over its transgender student policy. He says the district's requirement that teachers call trans students by their preferred names, rather than those given at birth, goes against his religious beliefs.
"Everybody advocating in support for Kluge needs to think about what is like to be a transgender person and what it is like to live your life knowing that there are people that would say that you are not an actual human being and actively disrespect you," Aidyn Sucec said.
Many parents were upset about this internal document that outlines the district's transgender policy and answers to teacher's questions. The policy says students can ask to have their name changed at school with consent from a parent and doctor. Parents who disagree with the policy say they've never heard of this and didn't know it was being enforced.
Kluge says he issued a conditional resignation but he says he was told he had until the end of May to withdraw it. On May 25th he tried to do that but says it was processed, not rescinded.

See, I think that's the wrong view on that. It's not saying they aren't human, just that they are not what they think they are. I'm not an airplane because I call myself an airplane and you would be right to call me on that.

IMO, the teacher erred in that, the way it's presented, it's not about the he / she thing, but about the name of the kid that is "approved" by the parent.
Let's say the kid's "parent approved" name was "Airplane". There is a distinction there between that and referring to the kid "as an airplane".
He made it about religion instead of the facts of the situation. If his position was that he, ala Jordon Peterson, wouldn't call a "he" a "she", I think he'd be on sturdier ground, but still "processed out".

Just call them all 'shitheads' and be done with it.

It's going to take many more sacrifices on the part of correctly-minded people to confront this nonsense before it changes. This liberal dogma has built up a good head of steam for a long time and has inertia. It's a lot like knowing Hilliary is a corrupt psychopath criminal, yet she's still walking around free. Most people know she's scum but the machine is not yet capable of acting on that. All that can be done is like this guy and continue standing up to it and maybe eventually, gradually we can get our society back.
