Indiana School District Pays $195K Settlement After Firing Counselor for Speaking Against ‘Gender Identity’ Policy

Well-known
An Indiana school district has to pay a $195,000 settlement in a lawsuit brought by a school counselor who was fired for speaking publicly against her school’s “gender identity” policy.

Kathy McCord, who worked for decades as a school counselor at Pendleton Heights High School for the South Madison Community School Corporation, was fired after she answered questions from a reporter about the district’s “Gender Support Plan” and confirmed that the policy did not require teachers to inform parents of their child’s desire to change pronouns or identify as a different sex. Alliance Defending Freedom filed a lawsuit on behalf of McCord in 2023.

“I am thrilled to see this case settled, but most of all I am grateful that Indiana law now requires the South Madison Community School Corporation to notify parents about a child’s request to change his or her name or pronouns,” Kathy McCord said in a statementto Fox News Digital.

The school district enacted the policy in 2021 without informing the public, and even required teachers to hide students’ “gender identities” from parents, the ADF alleges.
