Christian Teacher Fired for Defending Truth
Faith Facts
- A Christian teacher was dismissed for telling a Muslim student that Britain is a Christian country.
- The teacher addressed rule-breaking about feet washing and highlighted Britain’s Christian heritage.
- He was initially banned from working with children, but successfully overturned the ban and is pursuing legal action.
The Free Speech Union is supporting the teacher, emphasizing his right to share truthful facts about Britain’s traditions.
This case highlights concerns over Christian freedoms and the importance of biblical truth in public life.
“This teacher lost his job and almost ended up being barred from the profession for life just because he pointed out to a class of Muslim schoolchildren that the national religion of England is Anglicanism.”
“Things have reached a pretty pass in this country if a teacher can be branded a safeguarding risk because he says something that’s incontestably true. If he’d claimed that Islam is the official religion of England, even though that’s not true, I doubt he would have got into any trouble.”
Standing up for Christian values takes courage—let us continue to pray for those working to preserve faith, truth, and freedom in our nation.
