A religious school in Florida says it will only refer to students by their sex assigned at birth, while pupils who are gay, transgender or gender nonconforming "will be asked to leave the school immediately."
NBC News obtained an email from Grace Christian School in Valrico, about 20 miles east of Tampa, sent before the beginning of the school year by Administrator Barry McKeen.
The subject line of the email reads: "Important School Policy Point of Emphasis. ... Please Read."
The June 6 correspondence to parents cited scripture and said that students will be referred to by the "gender on their birth certificates" during the school year beginning this month. While the email refers to "biological gender," the National Institute of Health defines "gender" as a social construct, as opposed to "sex," which is the biological difference between females and males.
"We believe that God created mankind in His image: male (man) and female (woman), sexually different but with equal dignity," the email said.
"Therefore, one's biological sex must be affirmed and no attempts should be made to physically change, alter, or disagree with one's biological gender - including, but not limited to, elective sex reassignment, transvestite, transgender, or non-binary gender fluid acts of conduct (Genesis 1:26-28). Students in school will be referred to by the gender on their birth certificate and be referenced in name in the same fashion."
It continued: "We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, transgender identity/lifestyle, self-identification, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery and pornography are sinful in the sight of God and the church (Genesis 2:24; Leviticus 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-29; I Corinthians 5:1; I Corinthians 6:9; I Thessalonians 4:2-7)."
"Students who are found participating in these lifestyles will be asked to leave the school immediately," the email said.

The school will now be assaulted by the Left. It’s important that the school gets at least an equal amount of support from Conservatives. Unfortunately, it’s likely that the GOP will join in criticizing the school.
The article seems to have parts cut out of is after the pastor made his video that addressed claims made in the original version of the article.
The version here includes some quotes the pastor’s video, but it leaves out his explanation of what his church believes about God, sexuality, sin, repentance and salvation.
Taxman Bravo Zulu to Grace Christian School!
This is what happens when all the wrong people move to Fla. and bring their politics with them....nothing good.
Twenty years ago that was a redneck area,not now.
Young children don’t know anything about sexuality unless adults teach it to them, or propagandize them with it. Six or seven year olds who think they want to be the opposite sex can simply be told the truth: that is not something that can be changed. It’s the weird adults who believe that such a change is possible misinforming the children that causes a problem.
Yeah, children don’t know anything about sexuality because they’re not meant to until puberty. But the perverts of the world want to speed the process for their own agendas. The diabolical thing is that children usually prefer associating with kids of their own gender, and the homo groomers want to convince them it’s because they’re gay or transgender when sex has nothing to do with it. Children are impressionable, it’s their nature. But that can be used against them very easily.
In other words, grow up or leave.
The GOP is not Conservative.
