Ex-HS teacher who said on Facebook that homosexuality is a sin settles suit
NJ Advanced Media nj.com ^ | June 20, 2018

A former Union High School teacher who resigned nearly six years ago after posting anti-gay comments on social media has settled her long-standing lawsuit against the district for $132,500.

Jenye "Viki" Knox will receive $24,500 for back wages, $63,833.33 for claims of emotional distress and $44,166.67 for attorney's fees, according to court papers.

The news was first reported by NJ Civil Settlements, which compiles a partial list of settlements paid by New Jersey government agencies and their insurers to those who have sued them.

Knox, a 56-year-old Union Township resident who taught special education, described homosexuality as a "perverted spirit" and a "sin" that "breeds like cancer" in her 2011 Facebook post.

"Why parade your unnatural immoral behaviors before the rest of us?" Knox wrote. "I DO NOT HAVE TO TOLERATE ANYTHING OTHERS WISH TO DO. I DO HAVE TO LOVE AND SPEAK AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT!"

I’m glad she won her suit. The gaystapo should have to pay every single time they try to pull a stunt like this.

People in NJ just seem to have an aversion for truth.

Except that the town pays, not the queers.

Unfortunately eyes will be opened after it is too late . . .Our country is in need of a Holy Spirit-led revival. . . .2 Peter 2:6-9 and if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly lives thereafter; and if He rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the sensual conduct of unprincipled men (for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds), then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

Good thing her emotional distress compensated for her ~$4,000 a year in back wages.

“Except that the town pays, not the queers. “

It’s on the town’s insurance which in turn is on the suckers’ real estate tax.

Was wondering whether Judgie is playing games, perhaps the payments to her come from different school system/union funds, and/or he/she/it was sneering at “emotional distress” while putting most/all of her back pay into that bucket.

Who knows.

She “won” after 6 years. Must have been a rough stretch.

Ah, here it is, as I expected:

It’s on the town’s insurance which in turn is on the suckers’ real estate tax.

More than likely, it won’t stop the abuses because the money paid out is not from the personal accounts of the abusers, but rather from the district. When they’re personally sued and have to pay their own money, the abuses will stop.

This is why the penalty needs to be so large that it DOES hurt the entire town. Next time they will consider who they vote for.

Sue all those who wrong you outside the law. Do not give in. Every action fights against the soft totalitarianism we are currently fighting.
