Don’t terminate Mr. Vlaming

Mr. Vlaming is a French teacher at WPHS. One of his female students has decided to identify as the male gender. Mr. Vlaming mistakenly referred to this student as "her" on 2 occasions this school year. The student's parent complained to the principal and Mr. Vlaming was asked to sign a paper stating he wouldn't refer to the student as a female. He stated he couldn't promise that he wouldn't "slip up" again because for the previous 2 school years the student identified as a female, still looks like a female and he's not use to the student as a male. Therefore Mr. Vlaming was suspended and has since received a letter of termination. Mr. Vlaming's words: "I won't use male pronouns with a female student that now identifies as a male though I did agree to use the new masculine name but avoid female pronouns. Administration is requiring that I use masculine pronouns in any and every context at school. I was informed that any further instances of using female pronouns would be grounds for termination." Mr.Vlaming doesn't want any attention drawn to the student during this process because he doesn't want the student to get hurt. HE WANTS TO FOCUS ON THE ADMINISTRATION'S REQUIREMENTS.
