Teacher investigated over 'Gender Queer' book resigns, citing affects on her health

I am in need of taking care of my health, which has greatly suffered as a result of these conditions and the violations of my rights."

The suit alleges the defendants violated several of Galdós-Shapiro's constitutional rights when a plainclothes police officer searched her classroom for the book 'Gender Queer: A Memoir.'

Before her resignation, Galdós-Shapiro was an English Language Arts teacher at Du Bois Regional Middle School.

The search was prompted by a complaint to Great Barrington police that raised concerns about inappropriate illustrations in the book.
