The letter continues to state that the student “did not want to be disrespectful, so she took it off, but she felt bad because she felt she was being forced to deny her faith. All of our clients are afraid to openly wear their cross necklaces in class any more.”

Liberty Counsel accuses Riedas, who is a lesbian, of participating in LGBT activism, stating that her classroom is “permanently decorated with LGBT political themes” and “buttons prominently displayed on her desk, facing students, stating ‘I Love My LGBT Students’ and ‘PROUD Public Employee.'”

“Moreover, at the beginning of the semester, Ms. Riedas placed LGBT rainbow stickers on students’ classroom folders without their consent, which were there one day when the students arrived,” the letter states, according to the Christian Post. “One of our clients reports that after she removed the LGBT sticker, Ms. Riedas’ behavior toward her changed markedly for the worse.”

The school district told the Daily Caller that Riedas is currently under investigation.

“We are in receipt of the letter from the Liberty Counsel,” Tanya Arja, public relations manager for Hillsborough County Public Schools, wrote in an email. “We have been in contact with the principal to initiate an investigation. However, the principal says she has not received a complaint from any student or parent regarding any claims made in the Liberty Counsel document regarding this teacher.”
