Max Whitehead: Whitehead Group employment specialist says deregistered high school teacher was treated unfairly - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

An employment expert feels a deregistered high school teacher experienced a 'rough run'.

The Disciplinary Tribunal stripped a high school maths teacher of his registration, after a hearing into a student complaint.

The teacher refused to refer to a transgender 14-year-old by their preferred pronouns or chosen name, citing religious beliefs.

Whitehead Group employment specialist Max Whitehead says this teacher's career is absolutely finished as a result.

"We can't discriminate on race, we can't discriminate on gender, we can't discriminate on religion. He's entitled to have his religious beliefs, but they conflict with each other."
