‘Bastion of Hate’ Professors Demand KU Evict Chick-fil-A

Image
Nothing triggers a leftist faster than a Chick-fil-A sandwich. That’s actually a sentence I lifted from my forthcoming book, “Culture Jihad: How to Stop the Left From Killing a Nation.” And the most recent triggering happened at the University of Kansas where a number of aggrieved faculty members are demanding that a Chick-fil-A franchise be removed from campus. “A bastion of bigotry,” the Sexuality & Gender Diversity Faculty and Staff Council wrote in a two-page letter to university leaders. “The culture of Chick-fil-A fosters hate and discrimination on multiple levels,” they declared. “In short, Chick-fil-A on KU’s campus stands in direct contrast to the university’s mission of fostering a multicultural, inclusive environment.” For the sake of full disclosure, I’m writing this column while eating Chick-fil-A nuggets and a delicious bowl of their new macaroni and cheese.

NOT FIT TO BE A SOCIAL WORKER IF YOU THINK HOMOSEXUALITY IS SINFUL - LGBT AGENDA Devout Christian, 40, who was thrown off a university social work course after he posted 'homosexuality is a sin' on Facebook to argue in the High Court that the ruling puts doctors and teachers at risk of disqualification. Felix Ngole, 40, a devout Christian, posted 'homosexuality is a sin' on Facebook He was kicked off his two-year Sheffield University social work course. A court ruled the decision did not infringe his human right to freedom of speech. During a request to appeal Mr. Ngole will argue other professionals' are at risk. The human right to free speech could be at risk if a ruling against a devout Christian kicked off his university course for 'anti-gay' comments is not overturned, the former student will argue in the High Court next week. Felix Ngole, a devout Christian from Barnsley, Yorkshire, was forced to leave his two-year social work masters at Sheffield...

University student dismissed for expressing Biblical view on homosexuality

Image
A recent UK court decision upheld the decision of University authorities to remove a student, Felix Ngole, from a post-graduate Social Work course, because of views he had expressed in a public social media forum about the Bible’s view on homosexuality. In my opinion the decision is a shocking breach of principles governing both religious freedom and freedom of speech, and should be over-turned as soon as possible. For Australian readers, it is also a salutary reminder that when the law on marriage changes, it becomes harder to protect religious and other freedoms. The decision,  Ngole, R (On the Application Of) v University of Sheffield  [2017] EWHC 2669 (Admin) (27 October 2017), was an application for judicial review of an administrative decision made by the Appeals Committee of the University of Sheffield Senate, on appeal from a disciplinary decision (made by a “Fitness to Practice” committee in the Department of Sociological Studies) to in effect expel Mr Ngol...

High Court to rule on Christian student declared unfit to practice as a social worker because of 'traditional' views on homosexuality

The High Court will rule on whether Christians who express "traditional" views on homosexuality can be barred from gaining professional qualifications after a social work student won the right to challenge his expulsion. Felix Ngole, 39, w as removed from a two-year MA course at Sheffield University in February last year after saying during a Facebook debate that "the Bible and God identify homosexuality as a sin". He received permission to mount a judicial review in a preliminary hearing at the High Court. The full case will be heard later this year. He is thought to be the first claimant to challenge a decision which barred him from a profession because his religious beliefs made him "unfit to practice". Mr Ngole, who also worked as a religious education teacher, argued that he had been unfairly stopped from completing his degree. His case is backed by the Christian Legal Centre , part of campaign group Christian Concern . Chief execut...
