A nationally-renowned private Christian school in Memphis is facing attacks from LGBT activists and a radical county commissioner for following the teachings of the Holy Bible.
Briarcrest Christian School drew fire after they announced a training session for parents and students on a Gospel response to sexuality and gender titled, “God Made Them Male and Female. And It Was Good. A Gospel Response to Culture’s Gender Theory."
Briarcrest promised an "enlightening look into the craziness our culture is throwing at our kids and leave equipped with a gospel response to share with them."
"When Superman is rewritten to be a homosexual, when parents allow children to choose their genders, and some schools are embracing students for being courageous by ‘coming out’ and considering transitioning...how do you respond biblically," the school pointed out in promotional materials.
LGBT activist Dylan Sandifer accused the school of promoting bigoted ideas.
“I understand that as a private school they can teach anything that they want, but that doesn’t mean that it’s right,” he told television station WREG. “I’m more concerned with LGBTQ students who are going to the recipients of hatred and rejection by the adults they look up to as authority figures, their parents, and their teachers as well their peers who are getting those ideas from their authority figures."
And the radical activists weren't the only ones triggered by the private school's lessons.
“There has to be a reckoning with these institutions on the oppression they uphold and the gates they keep," Shelby Commissioner Tami Sawyer posted on her Twitter feed.
She accused the school of spreading "hateful drivel against LGBTQ children."
In a statement to KWAM NewsTalk 107.9 FM, Briarcrest defended its commitment to teaching "students about all aspects of biblical truth, including biblical sexuality."
“Briarcrest is a Christian School that teaches and upholds the biblical principles found in scripture. We affirm our unity in Christ and that we are all created equal in God’s eyes. We will continue to strive to teach our students what is true and just in light of God’s word. We love people enough to tell them the truth about biblical sexuality. We have a responsibility to teach students about all aspects of biblical truth, including biblical sexuality. In addition, we strive to support parents in their efforts to raise biblically literate children who learn to defend their beliefs with gentleness and respect. Furthermore, as our culture attempts to silence biblical truth, we will proclaim the hope of the Gospel.”
Former Shelby County Commission Chairman Terry Roland told the television station that it's pretty clear God made two sexes.
"If you don’t know what sex you are look in your britches and it’ll tell you real quick what you are," he said. "They have all right in the world and people are tired of the left pushing this transgenderism. I think Briarcrest, they have all the right to do what they’re doing. It’s a private school and it’s a Christian School.”
The government has no right telling a Christian school what they can and cannot teach. And if the LGBT mob has a problem with the curriculum at Briarcrest, they are more than welcome to educate their children in a public school.
If only Commissioner Sawyer and the LGBT mob paid as much attention to the dumpster fire that is public education in Shelby County.
Ending this is going to take either a Third Great Awakening or a second bloody civil war. I fervently pray for the former.

Who swore up and down that they woild never attack christian groups or businesses, and all they wanted, lgbtq, was to be married and live happily ever after.

Great statement. Pray that they remain strong and committed.

Hey Dylan- sounds like you hate what the school stands for and are intolerant of their beliefs which are based on biblical,truth? Sound slike,youmeantmthatnschool,to,you want that school,, the recipient of hatred and rejection.
Turn to christ Dylan, and dispell your hatred for others.
The LGTBQP agenda was ultimately created by group of communists and other Satanic creeps stemming from the Frankfurt School.
They fled Germany during WWII, and brought their perversions, subversive ideas, and seditious plans to Santa Monica, CA.
Jesus Christ referenced them some 2000 years ago in John 8:44.
,It ain’ the PRIVATE school that b as the problem. Its all the knuckleheads that go to a public government school.
( government, i.e., funded with tax dollars vs. privately paid tuitions.)
Most enlightening post of the day!!
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever think you can achieve peace with the left by meeting them in the middle. The only thing acquiescing to them does is make them smell blood in the water.
I liken compromising with liberals to crawling into a grizzly den, and thinking you will be safe, or sleeping in a pen with pit vipers, and hoping you don’t disturb them
Clint Eastwood said “if you could reason with democrats, there wouldn’t be any democrats” (at least it was attributed to him- I haven’t verified if he said it or not thoguh, but sounds like something he would say)
Why doesn’t a group like LGBT start a private school?
And now, we know why our ancestors acted against them in the way that they did.
Who remembers the old Bob Hope joke?
California just legalized sodomy. I'm getting out of here before they make it mandatory.
It isn't so funny anymore.
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Amos 8:11 niv
“The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine through the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.
This is how you treat them and look how they treat you back!
