NY school moved teacher at center of pronoun lawsuit like ‘a priest who’s abusing children’: family’s lawyerBy Kevin Sheehan and Patrick Reilly

The Long Island family suing a teacher for forcing their daughter to use male pronouns claims the school received several complaints about the teacher, but just moved her to different classrooms — like “moving a priest around from church to church who’s abusing children,” their attorney said.
Debra Rosenquist, a fifth-grade teacher at Terryville Road Elementary School in Port Jefferson Station, is accused of confusing the 9-year-old girl about her gender identity to the point where she had suicidal thoughts.
During a hearing Wednesday, the family’s lawyer, Debra Wabnik, claimed that the school declined to take any meaningful action after receiving several complaints about Rosenquist and should bear responsibility for the child’s emotional trauma.
