Advocates filed a lawsuit this week challenging Jurupa Unified School District in Riverside, California after the wrongful termination of public school teacher, Jessica Tapia, for her religious beliefs. Her termination comes after Jessica’s refusal to participate in harmful gender affirming school policies, such as allowing students to use a bathroom or locker room that does not match their biological sex.

The Jurupa Unified School District mandates that teachers and support staff participate in gender affirming care that is deceptive to parents, endangers students in school changing rooms and bathrooms, and directs faculty and staff to refrain from expressing their personal views and opinions on these policies; a clear violation of their First Amendment Rights.
