(LifeSiteNews) — Rev. Dr. Bernard Randall, a Christian chaplain at a UK school, began an employment tribunal on Wednesday after his termination for preaching against the LGBT agenda to students.
After a series of complaints and investigations, Randall was ultimately fired from his position at Trent College in 2021. The tribunal is to hear the chaplain’s objections to some of the school’s proposed initiatives based on the LGBT-focused Educate and Celebrate organization. The hearing is expected to last up to three weeks.
“Educate and Celebrate went beyond a neutral stance of inclusivity into the implantation of ideas I consider to be identity politics,” Randall said Wednesday, according to BBC. He added that the programs were “based on a Marxist and atheist reading of the universe that I think is wrong.”
Randall recounted his concerns over the school’s shift to pro-LGBT actions, including the forming of a “Youth Pride” student group and belittling heterosexuality through a staff chant of “smash heteronormativity,” led the founder of Educate and Celebrate, Elly Barnes. The chaplain would not participate in the chant and later informed the school’s senior staff of his concerns.
