Art teacher Stacy Bailey was twice selected Teacher of the Year at her Texas elementary school, where she started in 2008, but after she showed her students a photo of her and her then-girlfriend, she was placed on administrative leave. Now, Bailey is suing the district for discrimination.
“Stacy is filing this lawsuit and taking this action in hopes of pushing Mansfield [Independent School District] out of the shadows of discrimination and into the sunshine of equal rights,” her attorney, Jason Smith, told NBC 5 in Dallas.
Bailey’s lawsuit was filed Tuesday in federal court and lists the Mansfield Independent School District and two administrators as defendants. The suit claims the defendants unfairly discriminated against Bailey because of her sexual orientation.
“Defendants placed plaintiff on administrative leave, improperly publicly discussed her employment status publicly, refused to return her to her previous position in an elementary school, transferred her to a secondary school and determined she was not appropriate to teach elementary students all became of her sexual orientation and status as a lesbian,” the lawsuit states.
Last August, Bailey showed her students at Charlotte Anderson Elementary in Arlington, Texas, photos of her parents, her best friends and her “future wife” during a “Get to Know Your Teacher” presentation. Later that week, according to Bailey’s lawsuit, a parent complained to the school board and the superintendent that Bailey was promoting a “homosexual agenda” in the classroom.
The complaint eventually led to Bailey being placed on administrative in early September and then being asked for her resignation in late October, which she refused to give, according to the lawsuit. Despite requesting to return to Charlotte Anderson, Bailey was reassigned to a high school in the district this month.

One wonders if Laz would...
I don’t know if we can undo what Obama promoted.

What is with these “Teacher of the Year” people?
Try Googling Minnesota teacher of the year, I just saw it two nights ago. From the same island, no doubt!
Homosexuals should not be allowed to hold any public service position, and most especially not that of “teacher.”
Lesbians...it ain’t like in the movies!
What’s wrong with discrimination?
It is necessary to life.
Never should any elementary school have a homo in its faculty.
Certainly they should have the decency not to expose these young children to questions about sex.
(Which is THE #1 reason I despise homos - bringing up sexual stuff in public so that a subject that shouldn’t be broached with kids is out in the open to corrupt them.)
You mean leftist art movies? Or the good ones with lipstick?
Exactly what I think. They are “sick”, and should still be listed in the APA.
Part of me wonders if that was HER art teacher.
Or her mom’s HS best friend.
The love that can’t shut the hell up.
As they keep telling us out loud in public, “it’s nobody’s business!”
Since this in a public school district, she will win. Mansfield will end up caving in.
The horse left the barn a lonnnggg time ago on that one, pal.
...or like in (some) guys’ fantasies.
She’ll win.
The school district will be found to have discriminated illegally.
