Dozens of parents turned out to an Illinois schoolboard meeting to defend a teacher who was previously suspended for denying a transgender student to change inside a boys' locker room, which has put his employment in jeopardy.

Cody Hiller, a married father-of-six and physical education teacher at West Frankfort High School, was placed on administrative leave last month.

Hiller said when the school received new students, one transgender boy told school administrators they planned on using the boys' locker room.

Hiller then went to the administration and said he 'wouldn't allow that to happen,' causing him to be placed on administrative leave.
