An Indiana school counselor, Kathy McCord, who was fired after publicly opposing her district's gender-identity policy that she said hid students' gender transitions from parents, has settled her lawsuit for $200,000, the outcome reported exclusively by Fox News. The dispute centered on McCord's challenge to a policy she viewed as concealing changes in students' names or pronouns from their parents and on whether her speech about that policy was protected; the settlement resolves the legal claim without a court ruling on the underlying policy or constitutional questions.
