As long as the name change was legally recognized, the teacher should’ve abided.

Otherwise a teacher should be obligated to call students by their given name.

Right, so no Bobby or Libby. In class the teacher should be OBLIGATED to refer to them at all times as Robert and Elizabeth. In fact, why stop there? The teacher should be obligated to use middle names too. No exceptions.

He shouldn’t be calling them officially by nicknames unless the kid is ok with it and he doesn’t mind. I think the teacher came up with a decent compromise.

This example is akin to the teacher getting fired for not calling the kid by their nickname which is silly. If the child’s gender identity is that important then the first thing to be done is a name change. Why wouldn’t a parent change their name?

This may not change the religious dudes view, but the firing would have better foundation. And to be clear that may be the case here which is why I typed what I typed.
