A Texas professor who also works as a Pastor has been fired after teaching students that sex in humans is determined by X and Y chromosomes.
Dr. Johnson Varkey was fired from his role at St. Philip's College in San Antonio in January of this year after teaching at the facility for 20 years.
He was sacked after four students walked out of his class last November in protest over his teaching that X and Y chromosomes determine sex in humans.
In an interview with First Liberty Live, Varkey denied claims he injected religious teachings into his lessons - which students complained about.
Varkey said: 'I don't bring my preaching into my classroom when I teach about human anatomy and physiology. I just teach basic biology. That's all I teach.'
The former professor continued: 'X and X, those two chromosomes, make a person female and X and Y, male. That's all I mentioned in the classroom.
'That's just a mere biological fact.'
Varkey had been notified of a complaint being made against him by Vice President for Academic Success at the college Randall Dawson.
Dawson said in an email: 'I am sending you notification that Alamo Colleges District Human Resources department is in receipt of an ethics violation complaint.'
Varkey responded, saying: 'What was the complaint? I am not aware of any violations that I committed.'
He was then informed that any further communication would come via the HR department at the college.
DailyMail.com has contacted Varkey and his team for comment but he did not immediately respond.

And the left call the right “anti-science?”
What a coward...this is simple persecution over beliefs. They can’t even make something up.
Maybe you should think about getting into sorcery. It's all the rage nowadays..
Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland AFB... Been there.
He needs to sue the feds.
Hopefully he will sue....
It would appear he has grounds for litigation. The facts are on his side.
Whatever is that officer supposed to do?
“The graduates of this school should be red flagged from advanced studies.”
Remind me to never hire a graduate of this college at least where the degree is important.
They might also have been contractors or family members.
Hope he sues for getting canned for the truth.

Do not allow any medical person educated in the USA younger than 35 years old to touch you.
Good old Texafornia...
Despite its name, St Philip’s College is a public Institution, part of the San Antonio community college system. As such, it should be subject to the legislature. Initially, the college was established by the Episcopal Church. In due time, the church transferred the college to the local community college system.
And by firing him for teaching biological FACTS, those in charge encouraged these entitled spoiled brats with their itching ears to continue in their tyranny. It will come back to bite them hard one day.
