Liberty University has been sued for discrimination and wrongful termination because they enforced their doctrinal statement on a man who decided he was a transvestite. To make matters more intense, the ACLU is involved.
According to Cardinal News:
The lawsuit, filed Monday by the ACLU of Virginia and the Richmond law firm Butler Curwood, claims that the university violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
The plaintiff, Ellenor Zinski, was hired to work at the private university’s information technology help desk in 2023, and received a positive performance review three months into [his] time there, the complaint says.
But after notifying human resources at the Lynchburg school that [he] is a [transvestite] who planned to legally change [his] name — and waiting for a month with no response from Liberty about the change — Zinski was terminated in August 2023, according to the complaint.
“Liberty University officials read a termination notice aloud to Ellenor citing ‘denying biological and chromosomal sex assigned at birth’ as the basis for [his] termination, stating a conflict with Liberty’s Doctrinal Statement that names ‘denial of birth sex by self-identification with a different gender’ as a ‘sinful act prohibited by God,’” a news release from the American Civil Liberties Union stated. The details of Liberty’s termination notice are not included in the complaint.
The transvestite is seeking $300000 and his old job back. Perhaps the job market is tough, or perhaps he’s a devout soldier to his cause. What’s noteworthy is how he’s using the Civil Rights Act as the standing for his lawsuit which is a direct affront to religious free practice of the Christian religion.
Going directly for the Christian jugular. Liberty is an excellent school! I have many friends that have gone there. All of them are good common sense, moral Conservative Christians
The Civil Rights Act is wholly unconstitutional and should be struck down and banned.
The left chooses their targets with purpose. The more devout and traditional it is the harder they go after it.
Sounds like a setup. Freak will face freedom of religion if there’s any left
They should pull that crap at a mosque so I can watch their heads get cut off
Sounds like it to me too! Hire in keeping it a secret, then tell them and see what they do. SMH.
I like that the title of the thread uses “Transvestite.” As conservatives, I think that’s the term we should use because it’s the most accurate. Alternatively, “cross dresser” conveys the same meaning.
That’s it - get back in the damned closet you freaks!
Absolutely. I’m sure he’s out hunting for a Christian baker as we speak.
Normally you don’t need to fire people for this. They already have 100 other problems you can fire them for.
Sounds like a pre-existing condition.
You'll never see them try this on a Muslim entity.
They know what would happen.
CRA cannot trump the 1st Amendment.
Either way, crossdressing is not permitted by God in the Bible, and was in part itself one reason for destruction.
Secondly, crosscdressers are normally gender challenged and engage in homosexuality. This too is offensive to God and not permitted.
August 2024 is shaping up to be the month Title X, and this men in womens sports begins to end. The olympic attacks on Christsnity and women were planned in advance. Kamala went on a drag show to corresponde with the olympic opening ceremony.
Tolerance is the billy club the uses until they go full bore facist.
The Marxist ACLU sticks its oar in the water. It is ironic insofar as ACLU members would have joined the Gulag were they to try the same trick in the old Soviet Union.
Most definitely. Or a condition appropriated to squeeze some cash outta someone. Like many of these bakery cases.
He will lose because of their existing Doctrinal Statement. No brainer.
Don't adopt their language! Sex is not assigned, it is merely identified. (That's when the doctor says, "congratulations, its a boy (/girl).")
