A school district in Georgia has discovered the price of wrongly firing a substitute teacher.
$181,000.
The report comes from ADF, which fought the case on behalf of Lindsey Barr, who was dismissed from her substitute teacher’s position at McAllister Elementary School in the Bryan County School District in Georgia.
Her offense was to express concerns, as a mother, over drawings in a picture book that was being used on students that “contains several illustrations of same-sex couples parenting and expecting children.”
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
The school was using the book, “All Are Welcome,” during its “library read-aloud program.”
“Lindsey spoke out as a Christian, a mother, and a private citizen on an important issue—namely, the content and age-appropriateness of a picture book that the school planned to read to her kids and other elementary-aged children that conflicted with her family’s values and faith,” said her lawyer, Philip Sechler. “Yet school officials immediately retaliated against her for expressing those views and fired her from a job at which she excelled.
“We commend the school district for finally doing the right thing and understanding that the First Amendment protects the right of Lindsey—and all public employees—to express their concerns about what schools are teaching children without the government cancelling them.”
The payment is the result of a settlement to the lawsuit that had been filed.
She also will be reinstated and the school will “publicly express[] regret after violating her constitutionally protected freedoms.”

That was done through a letter from the superintendent announce her reinstatement.
“Upon returning, we encourage you as a parent to raise concerns about material being taught to your children,” the superintendent wrote. “Raising such concerns does not preclude employment in our district. For the future, we are focused on the value you add for children across the district as a substitute teacher. We sincerely regret that your separation from the school district caused any distress.”
The legal team explained the case illustrates the need for the new Georgia law, the Parents’ Bill of Rights, because it recognizes the “fundamental right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their minor children” and affords them the “right to review all instructional material intended for use in the classroom of his or her minor child.”
The settlement means the law firm is filing a stipulated dismissal to the lawsuit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Although millions of American parents send their precious children off to public school every day, imagining their kids’ days will be filled with reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, sports and music, they’re not only in for a shock – but for total BETRAYAL. Today’s “public” (government) schools have become far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America’s children.
Kids are being taught to HATE their own country and to see themselves and their parents as racists – or victims of racists. They are sexualized and corrupted, and many are groomed into the dark LGBT world, with almost 6,000 schools prohibiting parents from even hearing about their child’s transgender “transition.” In between all the far-left indoctrination and sexual corruption, teachers take time to scare children to death about the near-term end of life on earth due to “catastrophic climate change.” Another lie. But it’s all classic Marxism/communism, with even the “3 R’s” – reading, writing and arithmetic – now being corrupted with “woke,” “1984”-style madness.
Perhaps never has the true threat of today’s U.S. public school system been exposed as in the sensational April issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE GREATEST BETRAYAL: How Marxism and madness have taken over America’s public school system.” Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
