DISTRICT VINDICATES STUDENT WHO OPPOSED HOMOSEXUALITY

A Texas school district where a student was removed from class and written up on allegations of "bullying" after he expressed his Bible-based opinion about homosexuality has been vindicated by school officials.

The case involved student Dakota Ary, who said to a classmate in a German-language class that was discussing religion, "I'm a Christian and, to me, being homosexual is wrong."

Teacher Kristopher Franks overheard the comment, according to a report from Liberty Counsel, and wrote the student an infraction and sent him to the principal's office. It happened in the Western Hills High school district in Fort Worth.

The class topic had been religious beliefs in Germany. During the discussion, one student asked what Germans thought about homosexuality in relation to religion. Another student then asked to hear some translated terms such as "lesbian." The questions provoked the conversation about Christianity and Dakota's expression of his opinion to one classmate, the legal team reported.

Liberty Counsel now is reporting that the district has issued a letter that apologizes for the delay in returning the student to his class.

UK and the Bible.

What you read is not uncommon here in the US. Canada has much stricter laws, wher a pastor can not preach against homosexuality. I have read there is much the same in the UK, iis thet right?

Many families are struck with hurt because a som or daughter has been trapped by satan. There may have been many situations that happened to lure a person into homosexuality, but its still a choice.

We need to pray for those in sexual sin and their families.

I'm pretty sure that a minister can preach about Homosexuality here in the UK, i think the issue is how you do it, all of us are guilty of sin , probably all of us are guilty of "sexual sin", and need to bear in mind constanlty Christs teaching about "removing the log in our own eye so we can see clearly to remove the splinter in our Brothers"

I must admit from my limited knowledge about events in the US, especially Texas, which is a solid Republican state, and this why i find this particular case so surprising, there seems to be an almost virulent hatred among some "Right wing Conservative Christians" regarding Homosexuality, but a total disregard about Christs teachings on wealth, power and hypocrisy, a definite case of "swallowing a camel but straining at a gnat".

Dear rad.

You may have spotted the same disturbance to the force
that I have seen many times before. May the force be with
you.

Our struggle is with principalities and powers, and spiritual
wickedness in high places.

I had heard that the teacher in question had made it known in other instances of his support of being gay. I found a link by accident to a group which supports him. I've quoted below and highlighted the part that is of particular interest, because it gives the impression of religious undertones.

"It would be very helpful, and a grace rendered to the threatened teacher, Mr. Franks, if you and other community members would write letters and/or email messages to..."

Below is the link.

Group says FW teacher was harassed by student suspended for saying homosexuality is wrong

We need to continue to be in prayer for them.
