A Christian teacher in the U.K. has been found guilty of “‘unacceptable professional conduct” by a high court for telling students about her biblical beliefs on gender and sexuality, all while teaching at a Christian school.
“I find it extremely alarming that I have been found guilty of discussing and debating Christian teaching in a Christian school in an RE lesson,” Glawdys Leger said after the initial ruling.
Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, said it is only getting worse for Christian teachers in the U.K.
“Regulatory bodies are creating an oppressive environment for teachers which chills the atmosphere and prevents the expression of Christian faith in schools and any alternative or balancing viewpoint to LGBTQI+ ideology,” she said. “Glawdys is a Christian teacher who was teaching Christian ethics in an RE lesson in a Christian school. For her to be punished for doing her job well creates censorship in the classroom.”
