Image
A government-funded pre-apprenticeship academy in Bristol reported a Christian teacher as a “radicalisation threat” for answering students ’ questions about her beliefs , Bristol Employment Tribunal has heard. Svetlana Powell, a teacher of some 17 years’ experience, told the Tribunal that she was dismissed by the T2 Apprenticeship Academy in Bristol in July 2016 after being asked by students about her views on homosexuality.  In reply to a personal question, 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”.

Christian teacher suspended for ‘misgendering’ female students

A teacher has been suspended and may lose his job because he accidentally called a girl a “girl.” “This case is one of a flood of cases we are encountering where teachers are finding themselves silenced or punished if they refuse to fall in line with the current transgender fad,” the  Christian Legal Center’s  Andrea Williams  said . “If we collude in the transgender delusion, we do not serve our children well, we harm them.” Joshua Sutcliffe taught math to junior and senior high students at Stonewall schools , which are committed “to tackling homophobia, biphobia and transphobia.” His pupils outperformed every other class in the subject. A Christian, Sutcliffe respected the school’s pro-transgender policy by referring to all students by their chosen name. He avoided using “Xe,” “Xir,” “They,” or any gender-specific pronouns . “I have a deep conviction that we are all made in God’s image, male and female,” Sutcliffe  explained . However, “I have never looked to impose

High school students petition for removal of teacher’s LGBT pride flag

Students and parents at Auburn High School are asking for the removal of a gay pride flag hung in one of the classrooms by a teacher, ironically applying the argument used to take down Confederate battle flags and statues of Civil War figures from government buildings, college campuses and other public venues. The pride flag in the teacher’s classroom “creates a hostile and provocative learning environment for students not comfortable to openly supporting the LGBTQ + community in a public school where students come from diverse political and religious backgrounds,” according to a Change.org petition filed by Andrew Monk of Auburn. The petition had nearly 3,600 signatures by press time with an initial goal of 5,000. The teacher is identified in the petition as Mrs. Yeager. The Auburn High School website lists Justin Yeager as a mathematics teacher and Donna Yeager teaching social studies. The petition further states, “It is unprofessional and distracting for a teacher to be so

Ireland has stripped all religious freedom laws that conflict with homosexual rights

Image
Ireland has stripped away laws which protected the rights of people to freedom of religion when in conflict with gay rights. The move comes just weeks after the first Irish gay weddings went ahead, following a referendum to allow gay marriage earlier this year. Following the landslide defeat for opponents of same sex marriage – the referendum was lost by 62 per cent in favour of gay marriage to 38 per cent against – Ireland’s Parliament has been busy with a slate of reforms designed to cement the rights of gay people within Irish law . On Tuesday night the latest bastion against religious intolerance was swept away, as the Dáil voted unanimously to repeal Section 37 of the state’s Employment Equality Act. Section 37 granted specific exemptions for “religious, educational or medical institutions” when it came to gay rights, allowing them “to maintain the religious ethos of the institution”. Removing the section will mean that LGBT teachers will be free to talk to school pupils abou

Stereotype of ‘bullied, at-risk’ homosexual youth queried

Image
An education researcher has queried the stereotype of the “ bullied ” or “at-risk” homosexual youth, suggesting it is a construction of scientific literature that may be counter-productive. University of New England academic Tiffany Jones appears to have broken ranks from many colleagues in the field by ­highlighting the deficiencies of some advocacy-driven research studies, particularly those presenting gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer ( GLBTIQ ) youth as victims of ­homophobic bullying. It is an extraordinary admission given Professor Jones’s role as a collaborator on a high-profile research project , the 2010 Writing Themselves In 3 study, which has propagated this view and formed the basis for education policy across the country, including the Safe Schools gender and sexual diversity program. In a paper published in the  Journal of Sex Education , Professor Jones argues that the “bullied GLBTIQ student” is a recent emergence constructed by resear

90% of new AIDS cases among college students in Chinese mega-city due to homosexual sex

GUANGZHOU, China, – A doctor from a Disease Prevention and Control Center in the Chinese mega city of Guangzhou has said that 90 percent of all new HIV/AIDS cases among local university or college students are due to homosexual behavior . Dr. Xu Huifang said that MSM activity is the underlying factor in the majority of students reporting new infections,  reported   Xinhua . Huifang said the city has reported a total of 117 HIV/AIDS cases in 48 local colleges or universities since 2002. But director of the disease prevention center Wang Ming thinks the numbers are inaccurate since many infected college students do not get tested. “Therefore, the real number [of HIV/AIDS cases] may be much bigger," he said. Dr. He Haolan, who monitors contagious diseases at Guangdong No. 8 People's Hospital, said she has noticed increasing rates of HIV among college students. "It used to be very rare to see a college student come here for HIV tests, but it has become

PROVIDENCE , February 8, 2013, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Students at Brown University who decide they want to live as the opposite sex will now be covered under the school’s student health insurance plan. Starting in August, Brown’s student health insurance plan will pay for more than a dozen different sexual reassignment surgery procedures, including scrotoplasty, labiaplasty, clitoroplasty , and placement of testicular prostheses,  reports   The Brown Daily Herald . “We identified this as an important benefit for students to have access to,” Director of Insurance and Purchasing Services Jeanne Hebert wrote in an e-mail to the  Daily Herald . She said that the school-funded sex change operations were part of a broader effort “to support all students” at Brown. The total cost for any given sexual reassignment surgery can be as much as $50,000. Kelly Garrett , who coordinates Brown’s LGBTQ Center, said that the sexual reassignment procedures soon to be included in Bro

English: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) pride flag under a "No" symbol. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) CENTER VALLEY, Pennsylvania , August 9, 2012 ( CardinalNewmanSociety.org ) - An online petition circulated by an alumnus aims to push  DeSales University , a faithful Catholic college, to reconsider the decision to not allow a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender student-run organization on campus. The petition has led to a strong response from the university. DeSales alumnus Tim Gallagher reportedly posted a  petition  on Change.org in response to repeated denials by university officials to allow an LGBT student group on campus. The petition has garnered only 383 signatures at the time of publication, not all of whom are students or graduates of the Pennsylvania college . “We are truly a Catholic institution, so we wouldn’t formally endorse or support a group in direct contradiction to Church teaching,” Vice President of Student Life Jerry Joyce told

HOMO LAWS - A book of moderate gay porn masquerading as an informational guide about homosexuality and the law (Photo credit: benchilada ) LONDON – The group Diversity Role Models was founded a year ago to further the homosexualist political agenda in British schools. The “anti- bullying charity” has said that homosexuality should be made more visible and therefore “more human”. The group recently announced the appointment of gay activist Simon Blake as the new chairman, who comes to the job after fifteen years as a leading abortion lobbyist with Brook, the Family Planning Association , the Sex Education Forum and the National Children’s Bureau . Blake told PinkNews , “Evidence shows we will continue to breed bullying and fear unless gay sexuality becomes visible in schools. We need openness in the playground, in the classroom and in the behaviour of teachers. “Make sexuality human and it becomes an issue of fairness – something young people feel passionately about.”

Amendment forcing Catholic schools to host GSA’s penned by homosexual activists

TORONTO, June 5, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Following on the heels of the passage of the ‘anti-bullying’ gay rights Bill 13 today by the Ontario government, it has come to light that the amendment to the Bill that specifies that schools must allow a gay-straight alliances (GSA) if a student demands it was originally submitted as an amendment proposal by the homosexual activist group Queer Ontario. Matthew Wojciechowski of Campaign Life Coalition told LifeSiteNews that at the rally opposing Bill 13 held at Queens Park on May 31 he spoke with a homosexual activist who identified himself as Casey Oraa. “I asked who he was with,” Wojciechowski said, “and he replied, ‘I’m with Queer Ontario, we wrote the amendments for Bill 13’.” The group stated in a May 14, 2012 press release, “Queer Ontario submitted today a series of amendments to Bills 13 & 14 that would strengthen the language of the Bill … “Also included within the submitted amendments is language that exp
