A UK Employment Tribunal has dismissed the discrimination claim by a Christian teacher dismissed by a UK government-funded pre-apprenticeship academy for answering students' questions about her beliefs.
Svetlana Powell, a teacher of some 17 years' experience, was dismissed by the T2 Apprenticeship Academy in Bristol, England in July 2016 after being asked by students about her views on homosexuality. She was also reported as a "radicalization threat" to the government's anti-terrorist watchdog, Prevent.
In reply to a question by a 17-year-old student, Mrs. Powell said that her personal belief was that homosexuality was against God's will, but that He loved every person, regardless of what they did, or who they were.
When told that one of the students identified as a lesbian, Mrs. Powell in the conviction of God's care and love for every person, turned to her and said: "God loves you".
Two days later, the Academy's HR Officer, Stacy Preston, told Mrs. Powell that she was fired for "gross misconduct" with immediate effect.
"I was surprised that my contract was terminated," Powell said. "I was telling them about the love of God and love of each other. For them to compare my Christian views to terrorist acts, that was absolutely appalling."

Poor lady. Satan rules England now.
Well...it set.
Another 1A right goes by the wayside in the UK.
Imagine if she told the student God hated them.
Freedom has retreated to a dark corner in the formerly great empire.
RIP England.
Ping to current state of UK for Christians
“She was also reported as a "radicalization threat" to the government's anti-terrorist watchdog, Prevent.”Now that is a deeply chilling sentence.
“God hates you” would also have gotten her suspended, most likely.
This is one of the reasons 70% of British young people say they are not religious. Being a biblical Christian has become a criminal offense in many cases. America is next if we don’t confront, highlight,and push back through the court systems as they push us.
Hate the sin; love the sinner.
They’d just assume she was a Mohammadan, and gets a free pass.
This is not surprising at all. The UK is lost.
“Prevent” sounds pretty terroristic to me. Why haven’t they deported all Mohammadans if they’re devoted to getting rid of terrorists ?
Romans 1. God has given the English system over to a debased mind
The whole damn planet has gone full Nazi. This is what fascism looks like.
Wow.. They believe ‘love and truth’ is ‘gross misconduct and terroristic’? The Brits have gone insane.
Because to the Left gays are more equal than others.
