Christian childcare teacher who refused to read LGBT books to kids sues after being fired: 'Blatantly illegal'
A California childcare teacher sued her former employer last week after she was allegedly terminated and mistreated because of her religious objection to reading books to children featuring same-sex couples. Nelli Parisenkova, who is being represented by lawyers with the Thomas More Law Society, worked four years at Bright Horizons Children's Center in Studio City and cared for children aged five and younger, according to the complaint she filed Thursday in the Superior Court of California.
