District approves resignation of Brownsburg teacher who refused to call trans students by preferred names

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 On May 25th he tried to do that but says it was processed, not rescinded.
