I didn't Decide the case, Alito, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and Kennedy did
I seems to me that the Court will see a significant distinction between (a) those things which the state can PROHIBIT an employee from saying (keep your mouth shut if you disagree) and (b) the ability of the state to force an employee to say something that the employee does not believe (you must actively advocate for a position that you oppose).
But I could be wrong.

I love a judiciary that changes their mind based on whether they like the speech being protected.
Even if that's what happened, you don't like a judiciary that lets their personal opinions determine their decisions? I'll bet Obergefell really bugged the hell out of you.

Government employees are extensions of the government. This teacher is also forcing her religious views on her students

Ahhh the "my perversions trump your religious beliefs so sit there and take it" approach. Nice.

Government compelling speech is always bad. Get back to me when I say otherwise. Government employees are individual citizens with rights. Her opinion being based in her religious beliefs does not force her religion on others. Can you get any more backward?

HE is simply declining to use "preferred pronouns."
He is not prohibiting other students in the class from doing so.
ETA: wrong case. my bad.

So you’re against banning of CRT in schools? Teachers should be able to teach LGBT rights if they want to?
Banning that would be bad right?

How do you separate church and state of every member of the state can just individually assert their church?

Her opinion effects how she treats others in her capacity as an government employee.
Is she free to tell her students in class that unless they convert to Christianity they are going to hell?

Ricard was reprimanded in April of 2021 for failure to use a student's preferred pronouns, despite the school not having an official policy on preferred pronoun use at the time. The school later implemented various policies on the issue after Ricard was reprimanded.
So, did she prevail because the school had no "official policy" at the time she was fired? If the "policy" would have been in effect, would she have had no recourse other than to go work at a school that did not have a pronoun policy?

Compelling speech...?

She is not asserting her church. She is acting in her beliefs.

Her opinion can be formed any number of ways. Irrelevant. You still don't seem to understand compelled speech. Who'd have thought a leftist would endorse positive rights and be opposed to negative rights?

If they just prohibited her from using the wrong pronounces and name would that be ok?
But also, you have a rig JT to proselytize you faith. That’s a guaranteed first amendment right.
You can’t do that is a public employee at work.

That’s a completely different case.
Students aren’t public employees. And they are actually forced to be at school.
To rise to sexual harassment the behavior would have to be pretty egregious and beyond using the wrong pronoun

Why are you laughing. Y’all want to pretend like government employees don’t represent the government.

It’s a basic fact and understood law that your rights are effected by whether you are acting in the course and scope of your employment for the government.

If that's how you define separating church and state you can't; ask a secular humanist.

You don't give up your civil rights because you go to work for the government. Feel free to retain your own opinions. Even those developed based on religious beliefs.
