Christian teacher banned for calling a girl a girl.

A Christian Teacher Stands Up for His Faith and Pays the Price

Joshua Sutcliffe, a Christian math teacher in the United Kingdom, found himself banned from teaching by the U.K. Department of Education for “misgendering” a student after calling a girl a girl. This incident occurred when Sutcliffe congratulated a group of girls for doing well on a math problem by saying, “Well done girls,” which one of the students felt was “misgendering.” Sutcliffe was put on leave and subsequently dismissed.

He transferred to a Catholic school in London but again found himself in trouble for allegedly showing his students a Prager University video on masculinity and talking about the biblical view on sex and marriage.

“You say Islam is ‘an abomination’… is that compatible with being a teacher?”

Sutcliffe has denied these allegations, saying that he only suggested that students check out the video themselves and that the comments about marriage were not made during a class, but during a meeting of the campus Bible club. Despite this, the Teaching Regulation Authority (TRA) of the Department of Education ruled that Sutcliffe was guilty of “unacceptable professional conduct” and “bringing the teaching profession into disrepute” and subsequently barred him from teaching.

He is appealing the ruling to a higher court, but if the appeal fails, he could be barred from teaching for life. His case is being supported by the Christian Legal Centre.

This story should serve as a warning to Christians of what may be coming to America. The Department of Education is under the control of the Biden administration and has many woke officials who exercise power over what is acceptable in American education. With the current power that the transgender lobby holds over the federal government, it is very possible that woke thinking could be mandated by the department in order for teachers to keep their jobs.

We need more brave teachers like Sutcliffe to speak out in favor of Christian principles and against the weaponization of education to hound Christians out of society. Now, more than ever, we need brave educators to stand up for what is right.
