Circuit Court of Appeals, ruling against an "education specialist" fired by his rural Oregon school district for "hostile expression of animus" related to gender identity: displaying books that recognize sex as binary and immutable in his office where students could see them. Theis displayed the books "while engaged in speech that IMESD paid him to produce" – administering tests. "Perhaps coincidently [sic]," a teacher walked by the open office, "recorded a video of the students reading the books" and filed a complaint, getting Theis fired. "There is no evidence" anyone took the crucifix to mean the district was speaking or endorses the Roman Catholic Church. "[E]xactly no one believes the majority's legal fiction" that personal speech becomes governmental if students see it.
