Attorneys for two San Diego middle school teachers who were put on administrative leave after refusing to abide by a school district policy regarding their students' gender identity are seeking to sanction the district for disobeying a court order to reinstate the teachers.

A hearing is set for Wednesday at U.S. District Court in the Southern District of California, where attorneys from the Thomas More Society filed a motion for contempt of court sanctions against the Escondido Union School District (EUSD). The district was ordered by Judge Roger Benitez, a George W. Bush appointee, last fall to reinstate Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West, who sued the school district and the California Department of Education over the district's policy.

According to the lawsuit, the policy requires teachers to refer to students by their preferred names and pronouns at school while using biological pronouns and legal names when speaking with the students' parents.
