Tensions are flaring in a portion of Phoenix, following a decision by a school district to not renew a contract it had with a Christian university in the state due to issues board members believe could negatively impact the LGBTQ+ community.

Some heated exchanges took place at the site of a Phoenix area school board meeting on Mar. 9, after two duelling rallies took place outside the building where the meeting took place.

Both groups got very heated, and extra security was on hand. One of the groups fought for the board members' rights, as well as supporting the decision to get rid of the partnership and supporting LGBTQ+ students and staff.During the meeting, it was revealed that members of the WESD school board have received death threats.

The President of ACU said more than 100 students have served the district, and 25 were hired full time by the district after graduation. "[The] institution has policies that are openly bigoted, and I will not sit here as a member of the community and let our children be subjected to that," said Valenzuela.

Keep your nasty full of pedophiles Christian religion out of our schools and Government.

ACU discriminates against who can enroll and stay in their school. Interesting that they are now being discriminated against.

How about this; fuck their feelings. I NEVER expect others to take my possible feelings into account during interactions and what I may or may not find offensive. Why? Because I'm a fucking adult that controls my emotions. We aren't put on this earth to make each other feel good

Oh well they have other schools to choose from mad? Take it up with God

That has nothing 2 do with being queer.

As a desciple of Christ Educators need to stick To accidemic not pushing Society's woke agenda downs our children's throat The moral makeup of our Children is the parents job. Reguardless of thier faith or lack there of. Parents responsibility not teachers.

The time for push back of forcing the majority to bow to a small minority and give in to everything they want can’t come soon enough.

If LGBTQ has rights what about the rights for the Christian communities?

The fight is here! Either stand for decency or stand with evil!!

Believe? No it would. You wouldn’t promote hiring teachers who came from a school who thought them that all Christians are evil and white people are sinners and evil. Same thing here. is of course not real media just propaganda and lies like their parent co.

This is unreal...

Logically, it follows that only licensed educators who are atheist should be the ones to teach children. And it is garbage.

There are those who complain. There are those who do. Conservatives mostly complain. Soon it will be too late to do.

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities -Voltaire

WTF is going on!! Cat ears!!!

I thought they said we must be tolerant and accepting. This is the opposite. Practice what you Preach. Tolerance is a two way street.

If Republicans are gonna worship the worst traits of humanity: ignorance, fear, hate, cruelty, greed, selfishness, racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and bigotry - if they're gonna be the exact opposite of Christ - then they should stop calling themselves 'Christians.'

I’m just glad america is waking up to the fact 99% of America is gay and transgender. Majority wins

Teach children how to read, write, math and science.

People need to RISE UP and vote these people OUT.

“Due to religious bigotry by the school board, including a member who wears cat ears” —- corrected headline

what have we become…

There seems to be an increased effort by the gay community to indoctrinate our children.

Will the board begin firing teachers and staff who do not share the same beliefs regarding marriage and family as them?

During the 11-year relationship between the university and district there were no complaints. The district even hired graduates from the university. They were going to renew the contract until one member objected. A member who openly promotes her personal beliefs at meetings.

Will the board start firing teachers and staff who do not agree with their gay lifestyle? Professional teachers know how to keep their personal beliefs at home, perhaps the board needs to learn how to do the same.

The university has had an 11-year relationship with the district with no issues. The district has even hired teachers from the university. The board was ready to renew the contract until one member made this an issue.

You must be a follower of the Woke Religion to teach, apparently. If you don't understand why this is a problem - thank a teacher.

Virtue signaling against g-d. Oh yeah, they believe trans folks are g-ds above us all.

Liberals. They want to make ALL your kids drag queens.

If this isn’t a massive warning to Christian parents to pull their kids out of the Godless public school system, I don’t know what is. Save your kids!

The reason why tempers flare is because Jesus Christ wasn't present in that room to be the ultimate Judge or what's happening. LGBTQ has long pushed their narrative on everyone to be accepted and 'fair rights' have let their feeling no ok and not God 🙏

Am I missing something? Why is that board member wearing cat ears?

Vote them out

Religious discrimination!

no religion in public schools! period! and no taxpayers money for religious schools! easy!

UnStable FurrieS Lunatics

Is there any evidence of these ACU teachers/workers discriminating against the LGBQT community

The democrats gave your kids to the teachers union. Bunch of woke leftists lesbians with no kids of there own. Homeschooling is the only way now.

So in summary these people believe that their LGBT views are superior and therefor anyone who goes against those views should be banned from employment. This sounds an awful lot like discrimination to me.

It. Never. Stops.

Teachers have lost their damn mind they are all Leftist weirdos
