California forces Christian college employees to undergo gender identity training at odds with faith
Just The News ^ | 04/08/2021 | Greg Piper

When several Christian colleges sued to stop the Obama administration's proposed contraceptive mandate in 2013, their trade association briefly had their back.

Forcing faith-based institutions to cover abortifacient drugs under the Affordable Care Act threatens "the religious liberty of all people and the entire nation," Edward Blews, then-president of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, told the feds. When the final rule was released a few months later, however, the CCCU was reportedly silent.

Several years later, not only the CCCU but some of its highest profile members are staying quiet about another potential infringement of their religious liberty: California's required employer training on gender identity and sexuality.

A student at Pepperdine University law school provided Just the News with the part-time employee training she was required to complete last month, as well as her communications with Pepperdine officials, including her dean.

Alexandra Boutelle complained in particular about a video whose "assertions on gender and sexuality could not be more contrary to the Bible and to Pepperdine's own statement on sexual relationships.

The university, which is historically affiliated with the Churches of Christ, told her it didn't have any leeway to revise the training required by the state under Senate Bill 1343.

Signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2018, the law requires employers with five or more employees to provide "sexual harassment training" to those employees by Jan. 1, 2020 and every two years thereafter. Training must happen within six months of hire. (A subsequent law pushed back the first deadline by a year.)

Training must also cover "harassment based on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation." It does not provide any religious accommodations. The Department of Fair Employment and Housing is responsible for providing online interactive courses that employers can use to fulfill their obligations.

There are ways to do that so that you are not really doing it.

I’d go along with the training and at every point say,this is your view,not mine... I’m required to take the training.It’s my choice to not believe any of it...

Because you may only think approved thoughts...you are not allowed moral truth.
