Social worker postgraduate is told quoting the Bible in Facebook discussion could cause offence
A Christian postgraduate student has been expelled from his course, effectively ending his chances of a career as a social worker, for voicing opposition to gay marriage in a Facebook discussion.
Felix Ngole, a 38-year-old father of four, expressed support for Kim Davis, the county clerk from Kentucky in the US who was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licences after the introduction of same-sex unions in September last year.
He argued that homosexual activity is against the teaching of the Bible, quoting a verse from Leviticus describing it as an "abomination".
The post, from his private Facebook account, was part of a discussion thread in which other users voiced their opinions on all sides of the debate.
It was not until two months later that he was summoned to a disciplinary hearing at Sheffield University after a fellow student complained about his post.
He said he was initially not even told what he was accused of doing. He was eventually told that it involved breaching social work guidelines on "personal conduct" and "bringing the profession into disrepute".

So glad the Mrs and I are retired. We wouldn’t have done as well in this new world.
Now but for our progeny and theirs....
This witch hunt against Christians by the wicked has to stop.
“Gay marriage”. First, let’s call it what it is: a bastardization of well-established traditional marriage by homosexual activists. It is neither “gay”, nor is it “marriage”.
Could someone please explain to me why a man married to a woman would be a vocal advocate of “homosexual marriage”? I know of someone like this and I am baffled. What sort of angle is he working?
It would seem that such a person would accept a redefinition of marriage to accommodate the sexually dysfunctional.
Some of the saddest people I’ve seen work in sociology related fields.
2) Don't be a "social worker".
Obviously one of those "uncle toms" who isn't "down with the struggle" like moslems and African-Americans are (and yes, I know this was in England).
