‘I Was Treated Like A Criminal’: Teacher Dragged Before Tribunal For Religious Views On LGBT

Glawdys Leger, a foreign language teacher at a Church of England School, has been fired from her position after refusing to teach LGBT material.

Leger said she was required to introduce the concepts of pansexual, asexual, intersex and transgender to the children in her classroom. She was also reportedly required to teach and discuss critical race theory and abortion. 

“The impact of what has happened to me has taken a great toll on me. The thought of me losing my career for expressing my Christian beliefs in response to questions from students is heartbreaking,” she said.

“I have great compassion for LGBT people, especially for those suffering from gender confusion,” Leger said. “I cannot, however, in good conscience teach or say things I believe are contrary to my faith, for example saying that same-sex sexual relationships are good and/or affirming people in their gender confusion.”
