California School District Settles with Fired Teacher Over Transgender Policies

Jurupa Unified agrees to $360,000 payment without admitting fault after Jessica Tapia's termination for refusing to use preferred pronouns and conceal gender identities.

Jessica Tapia was fired for not complying with directives to use preferred pronouns and withhold gender identity information from parents.
The settlement includes $285,000 to Tapia and $75,000 for her legal fees.
Tapia's lawsuit argued her termination violated her free speech and religious rights.
The district maintains that the settlement does not imply any wrongdoing on their part.
Tapia plans to continue advocating for religious freedom in education through the 'Teachers Don’t Lie' initiative.
