British Woman Sacked Over LGBT Education Comments Loses Case

Image
A British tribunal has rejected the claims of discrimination and harassment from a woman in connection with her dismissal for two Facebook posts that raised concerns about transgenderism and sex education at her son’s Church of England primary school. Bristol Employment Tribunal has ruled against Kristie Higgs, ironically making the decision shortly after new government guidelines have restricted the Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) curriculum to prevent the LGBT indoctrination of children – vindicating the protests of parents such as Kristie. Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, Higgs, 44, challenged her employer, Farmor’s School in Fairford, Gloucestershire, for discrimination and harassment on the grounds of her Christian beliefs. Nevertheless, the Tribunal has concluded that Kristie’s dismissal by Farmor’s School in Fairford, Gloucestershire, was not related to the Christian beliefs she expressed on social media, such as her opposition to sex education in primary schools o...

A 59-year-old Boston man is challenging the city’s refusal to fly a Christian flag over city hall to recognize Christianity’s historical contributions to both Boston and the state of Massachusetts, the Boston Globe reports . Camp Constitution is a charitable trust dedicated to promoting “understanding of our Judeo-Christian moral heritage, our American heritage of courage and ingenuity, including the genius of our United States Constitution, and the application of free enterprise” through a variety of discussions, activities, and events. Last year its director, Harold Shurtleff, wanted to fly a Christian flag with a red cross on a blue background, with white on three sides, at the city hall to commemorate “the civic and social contributions of the Christian community to the City, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, religious tolerance, the Rule of Law, and the US Constitution.” But the city denied him a permit on the grounds that it “maintains a policy and practice of respectfull...

Christian club rejects University of Iowa’s mandate to accept LGBT leaders

Image
A Christian student organization at the University of Iowa says it has not and will not surrender to the administration’s demands that it allow openly-homosexual men to run for leadership positions. Business Leaders in Christ (BLinC) holds weekly meetings, group discussions, and Bible studies for the purpose of strengthening members’ faith and helping them apply it in the business world. For months, it has been locked in a legal battle with the administration for rejecting Marcus Miller’s application for a leadership position. BLinC rejected Miller, a gay activist because he refused to agree to the club’s Statement of Faith that called for sexual chastity outside of natural marriage. Despite the fact that multiple campus organizations with a wide range of perspectives require members to accept their own sets of beliefs and behavioral standards (including Miller’s own gay “religious” student group Love Works), the school revoked Blinc's status as a registered student group, bloc...

California forcing Christian Colleges to approve LGBT immorality

Image
Many of The Master's Christian College alumni, students, parents and friends have been watching the current events surrounding the California Bill SB 1146. [For an overview of this bill, see here .] This is NOT just another piece of legislation; this is a critical issue that will directly affect the future of The Master’s College! As you would expect, Dr. John MacArthur has already submitted a letter registering our strong opposition to this bill which threatens institutions freedom to provide a quality education based on a commitment to Christ and His Word. “SB 1146 challenges the very foundation of religious liberty that has been part of the heritage of the United States of America,” said Dr. MacArthur, president of The Master’s College. He goes on to say, “Freedom of religion is part of what makes our country and state what they are, and to restrict this freedom of religion goes against the very Constitution that we follow.” In addressing the LGBT issues attached to this bi...
