Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits
in the seat of the scornful... Psalm 1:1
A Christian teacher in the UK has been suspended after he complained
about the use of training time to promote the idea that homosexuality is normative. Kwabena Peat, 54, was one of several teachers
that walked out of his school's compulsory training day in January, at which Sue Sanders, a prominent UK homosexualist
activist, suggested that those who do not accept homosexuality as normal have 'issues' that need to be addressed,
according to the Daily Mail.
After the event, Mr. Peat wrote to the three staff members who organized the session at
Park View Academy, including a deputy headmaster, complaining about Sanders' "aggressive" presentation. Peat
was suspended with pay pending outcome of disciplinary investigations after the staff members complained that, although they
were senior to him, they felt "harassed and intimidated" by his complaint.
Peat is being represented by the Christian Legal Centre who warned that if it is allowed to continue, the trend of Christians
being sacked and suspended for expressing their beliefs will amount to "state censorship leading to the infringement
of a person's right to freedom of religion and speech."
Mr. Peat, a father of three who has spent most of his
teaching career working in inner-city London, told the Daily Mail that he was upset that people who did not agree with the
speaker's position were not being allowed to express their views.
In his letter, he cited the Bible and warned
that practicing homosexuals risked God's "wrath." He said that he had expected Sanders to provide information
on how to handle "homophobic bullying," but, he said, "She started promoting homosexual lifestyles and suggesting
those who had objections should sort out their prejudices."
