The Georgia teacher fired after reading a book about gender fluidity to her fifth-grade class has had that decision reaffirmed by the Cobb County school board after a tribunal recommended overturning the firing.

The Cobb County School Board voted 4-3 to uphold Cobb Superintendent Chris Ragsdale’s decision to dismiss Katie Rinderle, despite a panel of retired educators suggesting she should not be fired.

Rinderle, who had been a teacher for a decade, read the book “My Shadow Is Purple” by Scott Stuart, leading to parental complaints.
