NYC Mayor Fires Education Adviser After Learning She Previously Called Homosexuality a Sin

The former public school teacher and principal has been pushed out of her education policy role

NEW YORK CITY (LifeSiteNews) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams fired a recently appointed education advisor after the New York Daily News reported her views on homosexuality.

Mayor Adams named Kathlyn Barrett-Layne on Tuesday to the Panel for Educational Policy (PEP), along with eight other appointees. PEP is the governing body for the city’s education department. His administration asked her to resign hours after the announcement.

The Daily News took credit for getting her removed from the board after it reported on several books Barrett-Layne had written. Barrett-Layne, who is black, runs a faith-based organization and Pentecostal church.

“Leaders struggle with the same temptations of drugs, alcohol, homosexuality, fornication, adultery, pedophilia, stealing, lying, envy, covetousness, and every other sin that the congregation struggle with,” Barrett-Layne wrote in a 2013 book called “Challenging Your Disappointments.”

“They live in the grip of fornicating homosexual lifestyles,” Barrett-Layne wrote about prisoners in the same book, according to the Daily News.

You’d think most people were sainted homosexuals with the way these tyrants act.

That's the plan where they want society to be.

He has a (D) next to his name. What else do you expect? Adams will be yet another terrible mayor and NYC will fall further than it has already. I am willing to bet that Adams was a lousy cop and never really achieved anything in his life based on his ability. He is a quota mayor, just like he was a quota cop. Just listen to him. He is unintelligent, hence the (D) next to his name.

She meant to say it's a sacrament.

Why isn’t this a First Amendment issue?

According to the Bible, it IS a sin.
For anyone who is a Christian to say that homosexuality is a sin, is really a statement of belief by an adherent to a common religious faith.

If the First Amendment doesn’t protect that, what good is it?

This a is a clear cut case of employment discrimination based on religion. It is illegal. I hope there is a huge payout.

If true, this would constitute a religious test for public office. Something that is prohibited by Article VI, Clause 3:

"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

I’m sure Adams doesn’t believe in sin, so what does it matter?

I’m pretty sure a government official can’t fire a government worker over free speech. Sue the hell out of these freaking Marxists.

8 [d]We know that the law is good, provided that one uses it as law, 9 with the understanding that law is meant not for a righteous person but for the lawless and unruly, the godless and sinful, the unholy and profane, those who kill their fathers or mothers, murderers, 10 the unchaste, sodomites,[e] kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is opposed to sound teaching, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

So, if sodomy is now OK, can not murder and kidnapping and other crimes be far behind, in being given the next OK?

"Kathlyn Barrett-Layne"

The double-barrelled surname is usually indicative of a feminist so dedicated to her cause that she adopts the names of not one, but two men.
