Jessica Tapia, a former high school physical education teacher in California, wants to ensure that no other public school teachers are terminated from their jobs over their religious beliefs.

A year after Tapia, a Christian former teacher, filed a federal lawsuit against the Jurupa Unified School District alleging she was wrongfully fired for refusing to lie to parents and their children's gender identities, she received a $360,000 settlement.
