Gloucestershire academy sacks Kristie Higgs over posts about classes at son’s primary school

A Christian secondary school assistant has been dismissed after she posted an online petition against LGBT issues being taught at her son’s primary school.

Homosexual activity, particularly for women, should be compulsory for ALL!

A petition is something that people can choose to support or not, what of the people that signed the petition, will they also be penalised.

This school sets a great example to its students on how to deal with disagreements. If someone disagrees, sack them. If there’s anybody out there who still has common sense, you are the resistance.

The devil at work.......... Her views are not wrong, most people feel the same, Christian or not.

When I was a child in 80's England, my teachers explained to us they could face arrest and prison if they answered any questions about homosexuality. So I've no sympathy for someone complaining they need to find a new job over not being able to vilify people during work hours.

If only we taught tolerance.

Silly woman.

What.. That’s discrimination

Another example of how intolerant 'progressives' are when they feel threatened by diverse views. Fortunately, they are in the minority and the UK people are turning against this kind of PC propaganda aimed at children.

She’s got a cheek! Those Christians are still force feeding their myths in schools!

Petition isn't any monkey business against LGBT teaching, but firing someone without three reprimands is bad my friend!

SAY-WHAT-SAY?!?

'A Christian' is becoming a bye word for hate. Makes me ashamed..

I am a liberal tolerant individual and feel inclusivity and acceptance is paramount on society. I never recall a single lesson in school ever about LGBT issues and can't recall any teacher telling me about it. My parents told me hate was wrong and I shouln't tolerate it.

Why?

Idiot

Now that was a bit silly wasn't it....as everyone is now offended by everything its best to keep quiet on everything....

good, she can go work for some homeschool mom or something

She’s there to teach not preach her views.

Sacking this woman is disgraceful. The responses in the main reflect a society that simply cannot be more confused and disjointed..... a society that calls good evil and evil good.

Weeeeell... I want to express my opinion but the dystopia is already here and I'm living in London and I don't want to get arrested for speaking my mind. Just assume I offended someone.

Digital era the principe is not constrained he can’t constraint a society in lack of humanization that ignores its principe the man engendered by himself the hominids expose homosexualism other are thrown in jail for cocaine spirit of law the decision have been made YKUTCZFOOKOO

Good

Being so uptight, does that to a face...

Well, she deserves that.

Fantastic news. Feel sorry for her son though who’s been moved to another school so she can ensure he’s educated by bigots. The sooner RSE is made compulsory in schools, the sooner we can put a stop to this intolerance

Now who is a victim of prejudice and who is being victimised. You cannot intimidate people to your opinion.People are now losing jobs because of their beliefs,that is victimisation and prejudice.

A bit harsh, a written warning would have sufficed. I guess she should not be involved in school politics as it brings her into disrepute.

Good

UK is like its furthest neighbor, the US, developing countries in many respects. 😐

Thoughts and....Nope can't even type it...

So the petition was in relation to her son's primary school but she lost her job in a secondary school. How does that work? She's entirely in her rights to do this, even if the Guardianista Red Guard don't like it. She should sue.

Most of us would agree that children should be exposed to a variety of cultures and religions from an early age. Why should different lifestyles be any different? Complete double standards.

I think there’s an argument either way here, what annoys me an awful lot is the strong suspicion I have that a Moslem teacher in the same position wouldn’t be fired.

Wow how intolerant... and I don't mean her. Christian values and beliefs should be respected. If a christian family doesn't want their child being fed this stuff that should be their right.

Ad they say around here, thoughts and prayers

As a gay man I feel this was an over reaction. She had a right to voice her feelings and even make a petition. But given the schools policy on LGBT education it should have been acknowledged and then dismissed. If she had acted beyond this I could see the point in dismissal.

What a lot of hateful spiteful supporters!

Good

I don't believe it's necessary or appropriate to teach children in primary school about lgbt relationships.

Education is supposed to be objective, you deserved this.

Ridiculous. People are entitled to opinions ffs. Those that gurn about intolerance are clearly the most intolerant of all. Hypocrites.

if the teaching is optional then no, she did not have the right, however, children should not be indoctrinated compulsory onto neomarxist LGBTQ adgenta

Good! Schools are no place for hate

i stand with Kristie............and i believe the majority of the British population have major concerns about this form of PROGRESSIVE TOTALITARIANISM been perpetrated against the British people and their children !!............

Good

Quite right. Those with bigoted, closed, minds should have no place or role in teaching those with curious, open, minds.

Bye, bigot.

What a pity never mind!!

🙌🏻

Good. She’s not a Christian - real Christians believe in love and tolerance - she’s a fascist in a fluffy guise.

Good. Bye

That school is an example of fascism and intolerance. Has that woman no right to make a petition? What happend to freedom of speech?

Bless her. She will definitely find another job in proper school. Good luck.

Good!

Good! Our next generation need taught that being a narrow minded backwards bigot is NOT ok.

She's lucky to have an (ex) job - women working? Don't know if it should be allowed....

She doesn’t stand for me!

CrapCrepe Relevant eh?

I don’t agree with her but they’ll be a tribunal and she’ll probably win

Well, that didn't go as planned. WompWomp

Too right!

Oh dear....
