According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/sports\/2021\/06\/12\/va-school-district-to-appeal-ruling-reinstating-gym-coach-who-refused-to-use-trans-pronouns\/\">reports<\/a>, the Loudoun County Public School District is planning to appeal the decision to reemploy gym teacher Byron Cross.<\/p>\n<p>The teacher was put on leave after opposing the district\u2019s rule while citing his Christian faith. On Tuesday, the 20th Judicial Circuit of Virginia ruled that his suspension was a retaliation of his right to freely speak. Cross made the following statement regarding his position:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI love all of my students, but I will never lie to them regardless of the consequences. I\u2019m a teacher, but I serve God first. I will not affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vise versa because its against my religion. It\u2019s lying to a child. It\u2019s abuse to a child and its sinning against our God.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/554712579\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen>[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/554712579\">05-25-2021 4th Tuesday School Board Meeting and Public Hearing<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/user92307010\">LCPS Board Meetings<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The district said their decision to appeal is an attempt to provide a welcoming environment for all students.
