John Kluge taught orchestra at Brownsburg High School and left his position in 2018 after objecting to a policy requiring staff to use students’ listed names and pronouns. After years of litigation, the district agreed to a $650,000 settlement and workplace training on religious protections. The agreement resolved the case without a jury verdict.
