Former Weld County school principal alleges he was fired because of his Christian beliefs

Brian Littlefield, a former principal at Roosevelt High School in Johnstown, was fired in 2021 after he spoke to a group of Christian athletes, off of school grounds and with no connection to Roosevelt, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Denver.

Littlefield is described in the lawsuit as a “pious Christian male who lives his life through the teachings of Jesus Christ.” The former principal “never brought the teachings of Christianity into school nor in his capacity as a school administrator,” the lawsuit says. Littlefield then filed a complaint with the district, claiming, in part, “religious and gender discrimination.”

His firing and the actions of the respondents violate Littlefield’s First Amendment rights, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and rights under Colorado law, according to the lawsuit.

Lol, poor Christians, they’ve always had it so hard in this country.
