A UK teacher was asked about her views on homosexuality by her students. She explained them, but because her views were Christian, some students complained and the teacher was subsequently fired.
She then took her discrimination claim to the employment tribunal in the UK, which dismissed it.
Here’s the story:
CBN NEWS – A UK Employment Tribunal has dismissed the discrimination claim by a Christian teacher dismissed by a UK government-funded pre-apprenticeship academy for answering students’ questions about her beliefs.
Svetlana Powell, a teacher of some 17 years’ experience, was dismissed by the T2 Apprenticeship Academy in Bristol, England in July 2016 after being asked by students about her views on homosexuality. She was also reported as a “radicalisation threat” to the government’s anti-terrorist watchdog, Prevent.
In reply to a question by a 17-year-old student, Mrs Powell said that her personal belief was that homosexuality was against God’s will, but that He loved every person, regardless of what they did, or who they were.
When told that one of the students identified as a lesbian, Mrs Powell in conviction of God’s care and love for every person, turned to her and said: “God loves you”.
Two days later, the Academy’s HR Officer, Stacy Preston, told Mrs Powell that she was fired for “gross misconduct” with immediate effect.
“I was surprised that my contract was terminated,” Powell said. “I was telling them about the love of God and love of eachother. For them to compare my Christian views to terrorist acts, that was absolutely appalling.”
What a crock. This is how bad political correctness has gotten, so that even when you’re asked about your views, you can still be fired if they aren’t in line with those of the state.
She didn’t volunteer them. She didn’t try and convince her students to believe what she believes. According to this report, she just stated what they were after being asked, but also tempered them with the fact that God cares about each person anyway.
But these morons in the UK treated this woman as though she were at radicalized terrorist:
The Academy’s Chief Safeguarding Officer, Sian Prigg, told the Tribunal that after a group of students complained that they were “brainwashed and preached to”, she decided to contact the local coordinator for Prevent – the government’s ‘counter-terrorism’ strategy group – to report the incident. Mrs Powell said she did not know of being reported as a “radicalisation threat” until she brought a legal claim against the Academy and read Mrs Prigg’s witness statement for the Tribunal.
A Christian who stands by God’s word now equals a radicalized terrorist to these yahoos in the UK. That’s how bad it’s gotten. So much for enlightenment.
If we’re not fast approaching the end of days, I’d be shocked.
