LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE: Teacher Gets the Ax over A Name
By The Common Constitutionalist June 7, 2018
 

A school teacher has recently been fired because he refused to call students by the name they prefer rather than their given names.

No, it wasn’t a case of Robert wanting to be called Bob, or Juliet wanting to be called Julie. That would have been simple. But it seems life in the public school system never is these days, even in a State like Indiana, which isn’t exactly considered as a hot-bed of leftism.

Translation: some screwed-up kid who stupidly didn't even know what sex he was wanted to be called "Tiffany" instead of his given name of, say, "Tom," and the teacher erroneously  believed the proper name to use was what the child had been given at birth and how he was enrolled in school.
[H]umanity repeats the worst mistakes of previous generations and ... every free, prosperous civilization will eventually be destroyed by that small fraction of its people who find no satisfaction in anything but anger.
