USA: Oregon school district pays $650,000 after firing educators for speaking on gender policy

Oregon educators Katie Medart and Rachel Sager started a grassroots movement, “I Resolve,” to speak out on gender identity education policy and offer solutions that would allow teachers to continue teaching without violating their conscience and that would respect the rights of parents. After posting a video on their own website promoting their organization and proposed policy solutions, officials at Grants Pass School District 7 suspended, and then terminated, them for speaking out.
