A Michigan physician assistant (PA) who alleged she was fired after refusing to comply with hospital transgender policies because of her religious beliefs is receiving a $410,000 settlement in her wrongful termination lawsuit.

Valerie Kloosterman sued University of Michigan Health-West (UMHW) filed suit in 2022 after she was fired in August 2021, alleging the 200-bed suburban Grand Rapids teaching hospital was requiring her to go against her conscience as a Christian.

“All I wanted to do was provide the best care possible to my patients without being forced to violate my Christian beliefs,” Kloosterman said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

She was represented in the lawsuit by First Liberty Institute, which documented that Kloosterman had “received positive performance reviews throughout her employment before raising faith-based objections to mandatory gender identity training,” the news outlet reported.

The legal advocacy nonprofit reported she was terminated after requesting a religious accommodation from finishing training that “required her to affirm statements about gender identity that were in violation of her Christian faith.”

No effort was made to accommodate her, according to the institute which takes on civil rights cases to “reclaim religious freedom in America.”

According to Fox Digital’s report:

The lawsuit says University of Michigan Health-West officials called her to a meeting, where they disparaged her religious beliefs, called her “evil” and a “liar,” told her she could not bring her Christian beliefs into the workplace, and accused her of contributing to suicides among individuals with gender dysphoria.

A month ago, The College Fix reported on Defending Education’s lawsuit against the University of California system for allegedly requiring the use of “preferred pronouns.”

The lawsuit asserted that a student “who uses ‘he’ or ‘him’ when referring to a biological male who identifies as a female will be punished for ‘misgendering’ that student.”

Defending Education Senior Legal Counsel Sarah Parshall Perry noted colleges certainly can act to prohibit true harassment — “targeted, severe, and pervasive conduct that interferes with a student’s education” — but can’t “weaponize vague harassment policies to regulate viewpoints on matters of public concern, such as biological sex and gender identity.”

This will go down as the worst medical scandal in human history. And those who punished the ones speaking out against these deranged procedures will forever be “on the wrong side of history.”

A Catholic bishop will celebrate Mass at a series of pro-LGBT parish gatherings in Rhode Island while the Diocese of Providence refuses to clarify whether attendees will be called to repentance or offered sacramental confession, in accordance with the Church’s moral teaching.

The Diocese of Providence is holding four parish gatherings for “LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and friends” across Rhode Island, where Bishop Bruce Lewandowski will celebrate the Masses and participate in “small group sharing” sessions for “listening humbly to the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals.”

According to the program published on the diocesan website, the pro-LGBT gatherings are divided into three parts. The first section is a “small group sharing,” in which Lewandowski and other collaborators will listen “humbly” not only to the so-called LGBT Catholics, but also their “families and friends.” The second section is the Holy Mass, celebrated by Lewandowski, and third, “a community dinner provided for all attendees.”

The announcement opens with a well-known quotation from Pope Francis: “Todos, Todos, Todos (Everyone, Everyone, Everyone). That is the Church, the Mother of all. There is room for everyone.”

The planned events have drawn criticism after the Lepanto Institute reported diocesan officials had declined to answer direct questions about how the events square with Church teaching on anthropology and morality.

Ninth Circuit Rules Public Schools Dictate All Belief to Staff

pgnewser July 28, 2026 1

A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals of the Ninth Circuit ruled 2-1 that a Christian teacher in a public school cannot show students any material that contradicts the school’s supremacist LGBTQ plus ideology. This ideology compels forced acceptance of belief, including gender fluidity and transitioning children, which is an existential challenge to American Rule of Law, where no entity, government or private, can compel belief or speech.

The dissenting Judge, Lawrence VanDyke, wrote, “Could public school administrators establish a policy allowing office decoration with partisan political messages deemed sufficiently ‘compassionate’ but prohibit—as inherently ‘hostile’—any political speech that did not align with the Democratic Socialists of America platform?…

If your instinctual answer to each of these questions is ‘No!’… you might be an everyday American. But according to the majority today, you vastly overestimate the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech in our nation’s schools. In a decision that is irreconcilable with Supreme Court precedent, the majority announces an expansive new rule that all expression by public-school employees that might be observed by students is necessarily government speech, and not the personal speech of an American citizen—even when any reasonable observer would perceive the speech as the employee’s own personal expression.”

In completely ignoring the Supreme Court’s landmark free speech ruling in Kennedy v. Bremerton, the federal appellate court insists that staff who express beliefs that don’t align with a school’s established orthodoxy can be fired.

[UPDATE] On Tuesday, a panel of judges for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that Oregon social worker Rod Theis has no free speech right to display books in his public school office that disagree with radical gender ideology — and that his firing was justified.

Theis, a devout Christian, used to work as an education specialist for InterMountain Education Service District, which required him to travel to different district schools to administer standardized tests to students. He was not a teacher and rarely had contact with most students but did have office space in two of the districts’ schools.

Many InterMountain district staff, including teachers, are allowed to decorate their classrooms and offices with various posters, flags, and books that promote Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ messages, pride flags, political candidates, views on political and social topics, and more. While still employed there, Theis followed their lead by displaying three children’s books — Johnny the Walrus, He is He, and She is She — in his offices. The three books teach the biblical view that sex is unchanging and that children should accept themselves as the sex they were born.

Though no student or parent ever complained about the books, one teacher in 2024 researched the books online, determined that they promote a “binary view of gender,” and filed a complaint, claiming that the three books are “transphobic” and therefore offensive. In response, InterMountain officials ordered Theis to remove the books. He filed a lawsuit and received an injunction from a district court that allowed him to display the books when students were not present. Soon thereafter, the same hostile teacher sent several students to Theis’s office, asking to see the books, to which he eventually agreed; the staff member caught Theis on video showing the books to the students, and the school district fired him.

The Rev. Bernard Randall, an ordained Church of England minister, worked for five years as chaplain at Trent College, an independent school for K-12 students in Derbyshire, England. In 2018, Randall grew concerned when the school partnered with Educate and Celebrate, an outside group whose stated goal was to “smash heteronormativity” and embed queer theory in school culture. The group has since dissolved.

“I objected to [it] at the time it started, and tried to discuss it with the senior leadership, [but] they weren’t interested,” Randall told Fox News Digital.

The following year, a student asked Randall why pupils were required to accept LGBTQ ideology at a Christian school. Randall said that question, along with similar concerns raised by other students and staff, prompted him to deliver a sermon on freedom of belief and conscience.

“First-of-their-kind” transgender-identified paper dolls featuring removable genitalia are expected to be introduced in the fall in some classrooms for children as young as four years old, according to the University of Minnesota researchers who developed the project.

The dolls, which have gender-neutral names including “Sam,” “Rory,” “Avery,” and “Parker,” include removable internal and external genitalia and more than 100 interchangeable clothing, hairstyle, and accessory pieces designed to facilitate conversations about gender and anatomy, according to the MyGender Dolls website.

The project originated at the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Health after more than six years of research. It has since been spun into a commercial venture, MyGender Dolls. The university’s research reportedly included sessions in which transgender-identifying and other children, along with their parents, were paid between $20 and $60 to play with the dolls and discuss gender and anatomy. In addition, photographs presented during a 2024 conference reportedly showed prototype dolls depicting various stages of gender transition, including removable anatomy and interchangeable clothing.

The amendment to the NDAA sought to codify President Trump’s January 2025 executive order on the matter.

Four House Republicans joined Democrats on Tuesday to defeat an amendment that would have written President Donald Trump‘s executive order barring transgender individuals from serving in the US military into federal law.

The amendment, introduced by Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., failed in a narrow 212-217 vote during House consideration of the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a must-pass defense policy bill that sets priorities and authorizes funding for the Department of Defense. The Republicans who voted against the amendment were Rep. Mike Lawler of New York, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Delegate James Moylan of Guam, and Delegate Kimberlyn King-Hinds of the Northern Mariana Islands. The measure was defeated after all Democrats opposed it.

Boebert’s amendment sought to codify President Trump’s January 2025 executive order, which states that “expressing a false ‘gender identity’ divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service.” The order also directs the Department of Defense to prohibit biological males from using female-designated sleeping, changing, and bathing facilities, and vice versa.

While the executive order remains in effect, the vote comes as legal challenges to the administration’s transgender military policy continue to move through the courts. In June, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled 2-1 that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth‘s policy requiring the separation of some currently serving transgender service members was likely motivated by unconstitutional animus. However, the court noted that the case did not address restrictions on future enlistments, which involve different legal considerations.

Cunningham’s pointing and trolling of Bonner has become a fan favorite staple.

Yet, she has now angered progressive audiences by rightly claiming that transgenders shouldn’t be allowed to compete in women’s sports. The funny part is that this isn’t a controversial topic, since 70 percent of Americans agree. That side lost the plot, with faces of the movement appearing too unhinged, too moronic, too stupid, and prone to public collapses. This is America—people will disagree, and if you can’t handle that, you should do something else. Activism isn’t for you.

Cunningham was asked about her stance in a pre-game press conference, where she shut down a reporter trying to stir the pot. She struck a sensible tone, adding that she’s not political and everyone is deserving of love and respect, but there are the rights of biological women that must be protected. She’s not compromising on that position.

On July 9, Liberty Counsel filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Baton Rouge and the East Baton Rouge Parish Library system on behalf of a library technician who was allegedly terminated for refusing to use preferred gender pronouns that conflicted with his Christian beliefs.

The complaint, which also names the Metropolitan Council and the Library Board of Control, contends that the library’s “Inclusivity Policy” violates the First Amendment and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by forcing employees to engage in compelled speech and denying reasonable religious accommodations.

The plaintiff is Luke Ash, the lead pastor of Stevendale Baptist Church. Like many pastors of smaller churches, he also worked a full-time day job to support himself and his family while serving his congregation during evenings and weekends. In March 2025, he took a job as a library technician for the East Baton Rouge Parish Library and worked there without incident — until he was abruptly terminated from his position.

His offense? Respectfully refusing to lie by using false, gender-deluded pronouns to refer to a biological female coworker.

For American evangelical Christians, this is yet another crucial moment that exposes the dangerous, hostile nature of gender ideology. When the government demands that Christians speak lies that violate God’s truth, it is time for the Church to stand up and say: We will not bow.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a monumental ruling last week protecting the sanctity of women’s sports from trans-identifying men. That decision, however, left open a loophole exploited by pro-trans activists in their lawfare against policies recognizing biological reality.

In West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, the high court upheld (6-3) laws passed by Idaho and West Virginia ensuring women’s sports are reserved for female athletes. Writing for the majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh ruled that the statutes do not violate the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause or, in the B.P.J. case, Title IX.

“Consistent with Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause, we hold that the States may maintain women’s and girls’ sports for biological females. They may determine eligibility for women’s and girls’ sports based on biological sex. The Constitution and Title IX do not require an overhaul of women’s and girls’ sports throughout America,” Kavanaugh wrote.

The women’s sports decision builds upon the great work the court did last term when it upheld state laws barring harmful “trans” procedures from being conducted on minors. In that case (U.S. v. Skrmetti), the same 6-3 majority ruled that those statutes do not violate the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause.

Here’s what the BBC said.

And here’s some of what they wrote:

The US Supreme Court has ruled that states can ban transgender women from competing in female school and college sports.

The court considered cases from students in two different states who had challenged bans on participation. The two states, Idaho and West Virginia, enacted laws that required public school and college sports teams to compete in accordance with their sex recorded at birth.

One of the two challenges said the ban violates equal rights protections in the US Constitution. The other said it contradicts civil rights laws.

More than two dozen states have enacted bans since Idaho did so in 2020. President Donald Trump celebrated the decision in a social media post as a “BIG WIN”.

Under those state bans, a transgender woman – a biological male who identifies as a woman – is not permitted to compete in female sports at schools and colleges.

I started my career as a high school history teacher back in 1985. I taught my students about the Holocaust every year and was fortunate enough one summer to be selected for a special National Endowment for the Humanities seminar for teachers, led by Professor Lawrence Langer, a leading Holocaust scholar. Professor Langer came up with the term the “choiceless choice” to describe the no-win situations Jews were put in during the Holocaust, when there was simply no real choice to be made in the face of the genocidal Nazis. The idea has stuck with me for four decades.

It came to mind again when I read a recent Washington Post article following the Supreme Court’s adverse ruling in our case, BPJ v. West Virginia, on June 30, in which Julian Mark writes, “Critics, including some trans rights advocates, say the movement has rushed to tee up causes that the court’s 6-3 conservative majority is not ready to embrace.” While elements of the article were thoughtful, it is based on a flawed premise that warrants exploration.

First of all, the idea that “the [LGBTQ+] movement has rushed to tee up [trans] causes” is completely off the mark. There have been 2,446 bills designed to limit the rights of LGBTQ+ people introduced into state legislatures since 2022 — at least one in every single one of our 50 states — and 255 of them have become law in 27 states. The large majority of these laws are aimed at trans people. The LGBTQ+ movement didn’t “tee up” these laws: the opponents of the LGBTQ+ movement did, because they saw a political advantage to be won by picking on a small and relatively powerless minority and cynically exploited it. In other words, we didn’t pick this fight. We didn’t “tee up” trans issues. Our opponents did.
