• A Georgia substitute teacher who was fired after expressing concern about a picture book read to students that illustrated same-sex couples was reinstated by the district, according to Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).
• The school officials settled the lawsuit and agreed to reinstate and pay Lindsey Barr $181,000 in damages and attorneys’ fees, ADF reported.
