Christian Teacher Fired for Refusing to Read LGBTQ Books to Children
By Eric Lendrum
October 18, 2022
Last week, a Christian teacher in California was fired from her job at a preschool for refusing to read an LGBTQ-themed book to the children of her class.
As reported by NewsBusters, Nelli Parisenkova has since filed a lawsuit against her former employer, Bright Horizons Children’s Center, over her firing. The school, located in Studio City, serves children at or under the age of 5 years. The school has publicly declared its “commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
Parisenkova had previously voiced her religious objections to having to read such materials, and was granted an exception for four years. However, in April of this year, when the school’s location’s director Katy Callas, who is a lesbian, heard about Parisenkova’s objections, she refused to extend her religious exemption.
According to the lawsuit, Callas “took personal offense at Ms. Parisenkova’s religious beliefs,” and then “questioned her in an irate manner,” ultimately forcing her to quit by ordering her to either “celebrate diversity” or find a new job.

Whoa, Nelli !
This isn't the time for lawsuits.
Rather, you should pack up and move out of California posthaste, to another state where you won't be punished for your beliefs...
