The law firm representing Dr. Johnson Varkey said he will resume teaching by this fall
...
A biology professor who was fired from a Texas community college for teaching students that X and Y chromosomes determine sex has been reinstated.
First Liberty Institute, a law firm that defends religious liberty for Americans, announced .. that St. Philip's College in San Antonio, Texas, had reinstated Dr. Johnson Varkey, a former adjunct professor, a year after he was terminated.
...
"We are happy that the Alamo Community College District voluntarily reinstated Dr. Varkey," Kayla Toney, Associate Counsel for First Liberty Institute, said. "He is excited by this outcome, and we are glad that ACCD did the right thing. Dr. Varkey looks forward to continuing to educate students at ACCD."
...
First Liberty revealed the parties had reached a "favorable settlement," which, "among other provisions," guarantees that Varkey will be back in the classroom teaching by fall 2024.
The law firm previously sent a letter to St. Philip's College on behalf of Varkey, demanding the institution reinstate him after he was fired in January 2023.
"When teaching the human reproductive system, Dr. Varkey also stated that human sex is determined by chromosomes X and Y, and that reproduction must occur between a male and a female to continue the human species," First Liberty stated last June. "In the course of teaching Human Anatomy and Physiology, he made these statements in every class for 20 years, without any incident or complaint."
...
On November 28, 2022, four of Varkey's students walked out of his class when he stated that sex was determined by X and Y chromosomes, just as he had done dozens of times before.

Fools are not easily dissuaded from their foolishness.
What happened to whomever fired this prof? That is what I would like to know.
These types of headlines are becoming waaay too frequent.
Texas is in on this?
They probably also teach that Mexico won at the Alamo! Oh, wait...
Biology professor fired for teaching biology.
This has nothing to do with religion ir religious liberty. It has to do with objective scientific human reality. Education administrators and judges seem to have been lobotomized and/or been implanted with the brains of toads.
The evil Gov.Gretchen Whitmer boasted, “WE follow science” as she claimed masks and jabs along with total lockdowns were solving the Covid crisis.
So now “science” is a myth? And real myths that would embarrass witch doctors replace it? 👹
Maybe sex is determined by the will of the shaman consulted who emanates the vibration levels to make the gender of the non-aborted child appear.
Follow the science.
For the professor’s financial security, I’m glad he got his job back, but he very likely will never feel the same about the school board members again. The professor now knows how artificial, unempathetic and without mercy they can be to another colleague.
Why would he go back to work for those idiots?
Four students from a community college walked out on a professor? Did they think they were at Harvard where they could get away with it?
Exactly! Lawsuits are more profitable than community college salaries. Then you never have to work with these people again!
“ Why would he go back to work for those idiots?”
So he can sue for lost wages, and probably a slew of other costly things.
Surely you jest. The individual or individuals were promoted!
(Maybe)
Shows how fast and far we've fallen as rational society run by mature adults. Our forefathers weren't perfect, but at least they knew that boys are boys and girls are girls.
“Why would he go back to work for those idiots?”
1. To pay his bills
2. To teach what his replacement would not.
“So he can sue for lost wages, and probably a slew of other costly things.”
That was already in the settlement.
You’re right, just look at evolution.
