Christians need not apply. How many other positions will the secular left make it impossible for a faithful Christian to have? We have persecuted and prosecuted bakers, catering hall owners, florists, and now teachers too.
Hmmmm…the list does seem to be growing, eh?
This is over in England but this is exactly the same going on here in the US. Exactly the same.
Soon, you will not be able to teach unless you agree to the current madness. You must disavow Christ in order to take a position dealing with the public.
Zero Hedge: A primary school teacher sacked after refusing to use an eight-year-old child’s trans pronouns has said her only intention was to safeguard the pupil.
The teacher from England, who can’t be named to protect the child’s identity, told The Epoch Times she had raised concerns about the potential damage social transition could have on the young pupil.
The woman—who is now taking legal action against Nottinghamshire County Council over her dismissal—claimed she was stonewalled by school chiefs after raising concerns over the welfare of the eight-year-old.
She was dismissed last year after raising a number of concerns regarding the facilitation of a new school pupil into her class who wanted to be treated as a boy.
The child—with the support of both parents—requested to be called a different name and required that staff use pronouns aligned to the child’s new gender identity.
School employees, including the pupil’s new teacher, were instructed to follow the family’s wishes, which included allowing the child to use of the boys’ toilets and dressing rooms.
After raising issues with the principal—which the teacher felt went against her Christian beliefs—the child was removed from her class.
However, discussions continued with school bosses on how she would address the child if they came into contact within the school setting.
The teacher suggested using a “gender neutral type of nickname,” but was told that she could only use the name and pronouns requested by the child.
After refusing, she was suspended for failing to comply with what she was told was a “reasonable management request.”
She said: “At that point, I did get in touch with the legal people and started asking, what’s the law say about this?”
“Because from my point of view, I felt that they are forcing me to live contrary to my conscience, and they’re forcing me to go along with something that I think is actually harmful.

The insanity of this is appalling. I live in California, one of the most “left” areas in the U.S. Still, the overwhelming majority of people do not go along with this woke, transradical, insane trajectory of ideas. Californians have been “liberal” for quite some time. But by that I mean that we should have personal freedom and not be subject to oppressive government.
It’s time Americans stood up and said to these little brats: “NO!”

It is curious that we just ignore the boys and girls who feel uncomfortable with the opposite sex being in their bathrooms. Its a private space and all we can do to compromise that a little is herd people into ‘boys’ or girls’ bathrooms. Here, the discomfort is exacerbated by having others in there. Not acceptable (on so many levels). Some schools by us who have overwhelmingly high percentages of CHristians abide by the coercive state laws by offering an “all-gender” bathroom. I know its a hassle but we must also protect the “normals”

Arguing “against my conscience” is falling into their trap – it is precisely what they want.
The teacher needs to drive two points:
1) She is following the science that this young student is a boy.
2) She is standing up and protecting girls and the women who, in 10 years, will not be able to athletically compete with said boy.
Following Science and Protecting Woman are two undebatables today.

We tend to forget that many of these children suffer from the very real suffering of gender dysphoria through no fault of their own and should have our compassion and help. Instead many people have accommodated their fantasies instead of trying to help through mental health therapies. Those who are pushing this insanity who do know better, pander to those who have this mental illness, promote the mutilation our children’s bodies and try to persecute those of us who refuse to go along with madness will answer for it someday, in this world or the next. The ones who are mentally suffering from this dysphoria need our help and yet all they get from the panderers are lies.
