Quite concerning I can find anything offensive in her facebook posts and to call the neo -nazi which seems to be the reaction if the left liberals if you view doesn't align with them they can brand and belittle you as a nazi!

She wasn't sacked for her christian views; she was sacked for saying something that was potentially discriminatory and inflammatory and could bring the school into disrepute.
My cousin is a Teacher and avoids posting on all social media exactly for this reason; as far as he's concerned it doesn't matter what any teacher or person with duty of care in the education sector says on social media, there will be people out there who will make a mountain out of a mole hill.

My sister is a teacher. She also does not do any social media because she knows that one wrong & her job/reputation is toast.

A sad state of affairs in today’s crappy society.

I don't know what her facebook posts said, but if one's view is that gay and transgender peoples' relationships are not (to paraphrase the BBC article) "equally valid and 'normal'", then you are quite strongly implying that those people are also somehow less valid than straight/non transgender people. https://christianconcern.com/ccpressreleases/chris...

I don't think that's quite the final solution yet, but the line of thinking is unpleasant and unchristian.

I don't want this judgmental Karen anywhere near children. And lot of chuckles at the OP's snowflake nazism. She did something against the rules and got fired for it and you go running to a car board begging for sympathy and pity for your views. Man up.
Ha. A teacher friend (A) of my wife’s complained that her (A) son had been told to ‘man up’.Can you say ‘Man up’ nowadays? If you oppose this lady’s views, yet still say ‘man up’, well, have a word with yourself.
As for stating ‘running to a car board begging for sympathy’, I despair.

Surely normal means that , that is what the majority do.
They are not to be discriminated against, of course.
It's certainly acceptable.
And I have no problems with them personally.
But I wouldn't say it's "normal".
Anything could be seen as transphobic or homophobic, it seems if you disagree then you are labelled as such.
320d is all you need said:
Are LBGT relationships "normal" ? (I'm sure a very interesting question to debate).

I hope you are not a teacher. 'Now children, these people aren't normal. but we can't call them names...'Surely normal means that , that is what the majority do.

I don’t agree that the definition of normality equates to the majority. Otherwise left-handedness would be abnormal.Surely normal means that , that is what the majority do.

Homosexuality is common in the animal kingdom and as far as I’m aware it’s been practised across cultures throughout the course of human history. I’d say that makes it perfectly normal.

I've never understood the Fundamentalist Christian views that homosexuality is "wrong", "abnormal" etc.
Only real mention is Leviticus that also says eating shellfish is wrong and abnormal, as is shaving... Anyone here ever been accosted by a Bible thumper due to being clean shaven? Didn't think so.
Also, lets be honest now, Jesus certainly comes across as alittle gay... Never married, no kids, no mention of a relationship with a women, spent alot of time hanging out with the same 12 guys, kisses Judas, seems to prefer wine to beer and likes his body being eaten by many Catholic men on a Sunday...
As for the rather daft ex-teacher, she got everything she deserved.

From time to time I work in schools giving lectures and a show about Viking history.
Teacher staff rooms can be full of extreme views although yes, left to loony left does seem the norm (London area).
I think we would be better off allowing full and total free speech but educating kids to have a critical mind. The difficulty of course is when they are ready for extreme views?
I can remember a teacher reading a story where the roles were reversed - the hero was a girl soldier and the man stayed at home doing the cleaning.
She then asked questions about the soldier girl and house husband but the kids every time - without fail - changed the gender back when answering. They would say 'he was in the war' or 'she was taking care of the home'
The teacher - an openly gay lesbian - went ballistic at them and blamed it on me being in the classroom!!
The kids were only year 2.

That might be because the views of this person may align with your own extremely reactionary and narrow minded views, which you regale us with on a regular basis. Your thread title is inaccurate. The teacher was sacked for being a bigot, not for being a Christian. https://christianconcern.com/ccpressreleases/chris...

The normal part only refers to a specific thing, but colloquially, is often used to judge someone as a whole, usually in a positive light. And similarly its antonym, abnormal when used to describe someone usually results in them viewed in a negative light.
Most people don't really give a s
t about cars. It's abnormal to be a petrolhead. But I doubt many here would appreciate being called "abnormal" based on that one fact alone. Abnormal has some rather unpleasant synonyms, some of which are used as insults at LGBT people. So if someone accuses you of being homophobic or transphobic, its because the words you use are laden with prejudice, either directly or indirectly.
And besides, once could quite easily say that its normal for humans to form close relationships with another human, and then we're all normal, arn't we?
Statistics eh...

Paul of Tarsus, AKA Saint Paul, is mainly to blame for this. He was possibly a repressed gay man. He was a homophobe, and a misogynist as well. He started his career as a persecutor of Christians, but later became the chief theorist of Christianity. If not for Paul, Jesus would now be a forgotten man - an obscure Jewish heretic/mystic. The religion should be called Paulism. Only real mention is Leviticus that also says eating shellfish is wrong and abnormal, as is shaving...

One thing that the big three Abrahamic faiths have in common is a fear and hatred of human sexuality. They really are gloomy, inhumane death cults.

That would certainly explain so much about the Church in all its forms. One thing that the big three Abrahamic faiths have in common is a fear and hatred of human sexuality. They really are gloomy, inhumane death cults.
I'd agree with Ghandi when he said "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians, your Christians are so unlike your Christ"
A guy teaching love, peace, acceptance and respect I can support. An organisation teaching division, homophobia, selfishness and mysogyny, I'll pass.
