A high school French teacher who was fired last year for refusing to use a transgender student's personal pronouns is now suing school officials, claiming he was discriminated against for his religious beliefs.

In a lawsuit filed Monday, Peter Vlaming said he was fired from his job at West Point High School in Virginia because he would not use the pronouns "he" and "him" when referring to the transgender boy in his class.

Vlaming said using these pronouns, which the unnamed student asked to be used when he began transitioning, would "violate his conscience."

“Vlaming’s conscience and religious practice prevents him from intentionally lying, and he sincerely believes that referring to a female as a male by using an objectively male pronoun is telling a lie," the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit repeatedly misgenders the student, referring to him with "she"/"her" pronouns.
