A Vermont school district reached a settlement with a local family after punishing a student and her father for speaking out against a biological male who used the girl's locker room.

The Vermont School Boards Insurance Trust will pay $125,000 in damages and attorneys fees under the settlement to Travis Allen and Jessica Allen on behalf of their daughter, Blake Allen, as well as their attorneys with the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal nonprofit.

The settlement will also reinstate father Travis Allen as the middle school soccer coach and remove any school disciplinary records against him and his daughter Blake, according to The Daily Signal on Thursday.

The Orange Southwest School District Board and officials named in the lawsuit are also required under the settlement to remove any online content posted by the school related to the locker room issue and to take down bulletin boards at Randolph Union Middle and High School containing the message of "love and support" to the transgender student.

The Alliance Defending Freedom celebrated the court's decision.

"The settlement of Blake and Travis Allen's case is a resounding victory for freedom of speech," Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel Phil Sechler said. "Calling a male a male shouldn't have cost Travis his job and gotten Blake kicked out of school. ... We are very glad that the school agreed to do the right thing by giving Travis his coaching job back and dropping the discipline against Blake."

The Allens filed a lawsuit in October, arguing at the time that they "were punished for expressing their view" on "whether a teenage male who 'identifies' as female should be permitted to change in a girls' locker room, regardless of the discomfort experienced by the girls in that room."

The school had suspended Travis Allen without pay after saying he "misgendered" the student while the school said Blake Allen participated in "harassment" and "bullying" of the student.

So, in your backwards theory, this father should be fired and the kid suspended.  All because they don't want to play the games of the left.

I don't have a theory forwards nor backwards nor upsidedownwards. It is you who expressed a hive theory in some rush to squirrel a lemming. Someone's panties indeed need to be unwadded and they sure as Hell ain't mine ... try the other 6 or 7 folks commenting on this febrile culture nonsense.

Well, opinions will vary.  But I have to ask, EXACTLY what makes this a "trolling seed"? 

Could it be that you don't agree with it so that is what you are calling it? 

And if it is in fact a "trolling seed", then why even comment?  You could have easily scrolled along.

What special kinds of idiots would fire a coach over something so stupid? 

Maybe there is too much focus on sports if the idiots can't tell males from females!

And we're supposed to believe that the Vermont School District did this because they were afraid of right-wing extremists?

That's how the left is going to play it.  Despite evidence to the contrary.
