Court rules against worker who was fired for refusing LGBTQ training
A federal appellate court rejected the appeal of an upstate man who was fired from his job at a school district in 2018 after refusing to attend a mandatory workplace LGBTQ training.
In the lawsuit, Zdunski sought reinstatement, back pay and $10 million in damages, but District Court Judge Geoffrey W. Crawford dismissed the case a year ago. David O’Rourke, district superintendent and CEO of Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES reiterated that Zdunski was not fired because of his religious beliefs, but because he continuously refused to attend the mandatory training program.
After refusing to take part in the training session, Zdunski asked his bosses to schedule a mandatory training session concerning the persecution of Christians, according to court documents.
