The judge, John Van Laningham, \u2062went even further, describing transgenderism as a &#8220;new secular faith.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Advocates of transgenderism can be as doctrinaire as religious zealots these days,&#8221; the judge stated. &#8220;As this \u2063case\u2062 demonstrates, adhering to the traditional view \u2062that gender is biologically determined can get a person excommunicated, from a job in this instance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The teacher, Yojary\u200c E. Mundaray, was fired in June of 2020 from her position as a science teacher at Jose de Diego Middle School in the Miami-Dade County School District. The incident\u2063 that led to\u2063 her termination \u200boccurred six months earlier when Mundaray refused \u2063to address the student with masculine\u200c pronouns.<\/p>\n<p>When the\u2062 student \u2062claimed that God had made a mistake, Mundaray responded, &#8220;I&#8217;m a Christian, and my God made no mistakes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The student filed a complaint, leading to an investigation by the administration. They concluded that Mundaray&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-slams-transgenderism-as-new-secular-faith-in-backing-christian-teacher-fired-for-not-using-students-preferred-pronouns\/\" title=\"Judge criticizes transgenderism as a 'secular faith' in support of Christian teacher fired for not using student's preferred pronouns.\">personal conduct significantly reduced<\/a> her effectiveness as an employee. However, Judge Van \u200dLaningham ruled that\u2062 Mundaray was entitled to her beliefs and had not imposed them on the student.<\/p>\n<p>The judge also \u2062noted \u200cthat a recent state law now requires\u2062 schools to identify \u200cstudents by their biological gender. He emphasized that if the incident had occurred today, Mundaray would have been protected\u200d by the law.<\/p>\n<p>The case is still ongoing, with the Education Practices Commission set to issue a final ruling.<\/p>\n<h3>A Note from Our Deputy\u2063 Managing Editor:<\/h3>\n<p><em><b>What if you\u200b woke up one morning and half of the people you\u200b count on had \u2064just vanished overnight?<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>That happened to me recently.
