Can a Christian university fire an employee who disagrees with its Christian doctrine? This case seeks to answer that question.
From CBN. The left-leaning ACLU of Virginia has filed a lawsuit against Liberty University after the Christian institution allegedly dismissed an employee who identifies as transgender.
Talk about issues like these on The Community.
On Monday, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against the college in the U.S. District Court of the Western District of Virginia on behalf of a former employee who claims to have been fired due to the staffer’s transgender identity.
Lawyers representing Ellenor Zinski, who worked at Liberty’s IT Helpdesk, claim their client was fired in August 2023 after disclosing a transgender identity. Zinski, a male, identifies as a transgender woman. Per the legal complaint, Liberty’s human resources department referred to Zinski’s transition as the impetus for the staffer’s dismissal. …
Administrators at Liberty allegedly told Zinski denying one’s sex at birth violates the Christian university’s doctrinal statement, its statement on professional ethics, as well as its harassment and discrimination avoidance policy. The documents state, in part, “Sinful acts are prohibited by God and include but are not limited to… denial of birth sex by self-identification with a different gender.” …
Rolla is arguing Liberty violated Title XII, which he described in an interview with WSET-TV as a statute that “prohibits employers from discriminating against employees for a number of reasons, including on the basis of sex, and the Supreme Court of the United States has held that discrimination against transgender people is discrimination on the basis of sex.” …
“I identify as a Christian,” claimed Zinski. “And them casting me out is like saying a sinner can’t be a Christian, even though I don’t even view being trans as a sin, I know many people do.” …

Father I pray you would thwart the efforts of those who seek to use this agenda and manipulate the law to punish Christians. Bring these abusive changes to Title IX to the Supreme Court so that they may be struck down. I pray you will place godly leaders in positions of authority who would stand up to those who push this agenda. Amen!
I think I met this individual and my spirit was overwhelmed by his spirits of confusion, rejection, and need for acceptance. May our gracious Lord, the God of wisdom and understanding, shower him with renewed blessings of righteousness and love. Amen
I agree with this decision. How can anyone represent an institution and be in any way, contradictory to what the institution stands for. I pray that the decision is for Liberty University. The Christian institutions in the country need a basis for their beliefs. A for any other
