A Texas teacher who reportedly would not agree to call a 6-year-old girl by her transgender boy's name has filed a federal discrimination complaint against the daycare center that fired her for the refusal.
Madeline Kirksey filed the a wrongful termination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission after she was fired from the Children's Lighthouse Learning Center in Katy, Texas, on Nov. 3, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Kirkey, a manager at the daycare, and another employee were reportedly fired after they voiced concern when the child's parents brought her to school with shorter hair and instructed them to start calling her a male name.
Kirksey reportedly said she thought that all parents with children enrolled at the Lighthouse Learning Center should be notified of the change regarding the 6-year-old student. After that, she was terminated, according to a the document provided to the Chronicle by the educator's attorneys.
The firing happened the same day Houston voters repealed the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance which would have — among other things —allowed trandgender people to use whichever restrooms they prefer.
