A lawsuit filed by the former assistant principal of a Colorado high school, alleging he was fired for offering to add a “Christian perspective” to a theatrical production, can move forward after being reinstated by a U.S. appeals court on Sept. 11.

Corey McNellis, who had worked at Ponderosa High School in Douglas County for 14 years and was a parent to a child attending the school at the time of the incident, filed the lawsuit in 2022.
