The Jurupa Unified School District in California’s Inland Empire region east of Los Angeles has run into a bit of a problem. Last year they fired a gym teacher named Jessica Tapia for allegedly refusing to follow the district’s policies regarding interactions with gender-confused children. Tapia informed them that the policies were in conflict with her religious beliefs and values. Rather than taking a knee or submitting to the school district’s demands, she took them to court. This week, Jurupa Unified settled out of court with Jessica Tapia and paid her a settlement of $360,000. However, the district still insists that it did nothing wrong and does not appear to be inclined to change its policies. (CBS News)
