Virginia Judge Rules Christian University Cannot Fire Trans-Identifying Employee Who Flouts Its Values

[Sam Gamgee]

In our Christian school I think it has come about a few times, where the lifestyle of a teacher is in question. Contracts are annual, so in those cases the school just chose not to renew their contract.

“Liberty’s continued employment of Zinksi does not significantly burden Liberty’s ability to maintain its views and associate for its expressed purposes,” Moon wrote.

Oh yes it does and the judge just pulled his decree over the affair straight out of his ass. He did not cite any legal doctrine.

"likely to lose a 'religious freedom' argument in court, since the school accepts taxpayer-funded financial aid.

So, does that mean if you're working part-time for the government, you lose your religious freedom and freedom of association guaranteed under the Bill of Rights?

The Founders would find that idea incomprehensible. As in, "Can these people read?"

I think the Supremes will have a lot of fun with this one, and the decision will bring back religious freedoms that the Pervert-Communist Nexus has been stealing from us for more than a century. Game on!

No such thing as trans, only a mental illness and a sinful behavior beyond that. Expel the sinful behavior.

Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin.

It is ridiculous that a judge would try to insert sexual orientation or gender ideology into this when this is a direct assault on RELIGIOUS LIBERTY WHICH IS PROTECTED by Title 7.

No — it means an institution or organization can’t stand the principle of “separation of church and state” while it is collecting revenue from the government.

This is why a group like Catholic Charities has found that it cannot avail itself of religious exemptions under the law.

this judge will be smacked down by the Supreme Court

The headline is completely inaccurate and idiotic. The writing isn’t much better.

Headline “…cannot fire..”. But he was fired so why the fabulistic headline?

“Moon made the ruling in rejection of a motion to dismiss a lawsuit alleging the university wrongfully terminated Zinski’s employment for being transgender.”

This is very simple wrongful termination civil rights suit. Regularly happens to most business. The meritless claim and the idiot judge do make for a good show.

Yes they can.
Freedom of religion.

Dear Judge,

yes we can.
