NY Court Upholds Firing of Worker Who Refused LGBTQ Training

A federal appellate court has rejected the case of a man who was fired from his job at a school district in 2018 after refusing to attend mandatory workplace LGBTQ training. The court ruled that the training was designed to facilitate a safe environment for students and staff, and the man's refusal to attend was not due to religious discrimination. The man sought reinstatement, back pay, and $10 million in damages, but the court dismissed the case. The man's lawyer said they will seek redress from the US Supreme Court.
