First Liberty Institute, a law firm that defends religious liberty for Americans, sent a letter to St. Philip’s College in San Antonio on behalf of the professor, Dr. Johnson Varkey, demanding the institution reinstate him after he was fired in January 2023.
“When teaching the human reproductive system, Dr. Varkey also stated that human sex is determined by chromosomes X and Y, and that reproduction must occur between a male and a female to continue the human species,” First Liberty stated in its letter. …
Complaints against Varkey said he has engaged in “religious preaching, discriminatory comments about homosexuals and transgender individuals, anti-abortion rhetoric, and misogynistic banter” and that his teaching “pushed beyond the bounds of academic freedom with [his] personal opinions that were offensive to many individuals in the classroom,” according to the letter. …
First Liberty said the college is participating in unlawful religious discrimination in employment under the First Amendment and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, arguing Varkey “believes that he is obligated as a Christian and as a professor to teach accurate, true concepts that comport with his many years of research and study in the field of human biology.” …

May God prevail in this situation where the professor was merely teaching the truth that is real and accepted by educated professionals all around the world. How could anyone teach the woke ideology that is just opinion and not backed by any properly done research? God bless Dr Johnson Varkey for his courage and commitment to the Lord. May he obtain vindication and victory in the lawsuit. God bless the First Liberty group as they defend this godly man. 🙏
The truth used to be an almost absolute defense. What he is teaching is undeniable scientific truth about mammalian biology.

Proverbs 1:22 “How long, foolish ones, will you love ignorance? How long will you mockers enjoy mocking and you fools hate knowledge?
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
Dear Heavenly Father, You know Johnson Varkey. He is neither a mocker nor ignorant. He is Your man, committed to Christ and truth. I pray for the foolish who instigated his firing. I pray for the many who refuse to acknowledge truth. I pray You will issue Your decision, one that upholds truth and justice. I pray so much more but there is not enough room here for its expression. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray You will have Your way Lord, it is good and right and true. Amen
I was surprised that this situation arose in Texas, a Christian state? With so many fighting for rights of those working the border. However, I will life this issue up to the Father reiterating our request that HE intervene in All schools across this nation and the world that the beast be defeated and our children be free
Amen and HE WILL DO IT AGAIN. BECAUSE WE TURNED OUR FACE TO THE WALL AND REPENTED. FORGIVENESS FOLLOWS
.
We are declaring, standing and praying in the justice of the HOLY One of Israel GOD: in the greatest name above all names JESUS given to us to call upon the HOLY One GOD almighty: by the anointing of the HOLY Kadosh/Spirit: that those who rule unjustly will receive their recompense: and that their camp will be destroyed by their own utterance. That Haman will be hung and Mordecai will be glorified: in JESUS. Amen.
