I have no confidence that a California teacher would win a similar case:
A retired Kansas teacher won $95,000 in a lawsuit against the Geary County school district after administrators attempted to force her to deceive parents about their student's gender identity.
Pamela Ricard, 58, argued that school administrators in Kansas had demanded that she use students' preferred gender pronouns in classrooms, but avoid using those terms when speaking to parents. Ricard sued, arguing such deception was against her Christian beliefs...
"No school district should ever force teachers to willfully deceive parents or engage in any speech that violates their deeply held religious beliefs," ADF Senior Counsel Tyson Langhofer said in a statement.
For those of you who say that some parents might not support their children's views, and thus that all parents should be deceived, I refer you to this post from a few days ago, and to this quote in particular:
“You’re not entitled to take it onto yourself as a teacher to make the judgment that somehow this parent does not share the right value system, or is going to correct or guide their child in a way that you don’t approve of.”
