A college professor who was fired for teaching "factual concepts" has filed a complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over the situation.
The case on behalf of Johnson Varkey names St. Philip's College in San Antonio, Texas.
The public community college fired him for 'teaching standard principles about human biology and reproduction," the legal team at First Liberty Institute explained.
"No college professor should be fired for teaching factual concepts that a handful of students don’t want to hear," said Keisha Russell, counsel for First Liberty. "Dr. Varkey received exemplary performance reviews for nearly two decades, teaching fact-based, widely accepted science. But now that cultural elites are at odds with these ideas, the school no longer supports professors who teach them. It is a blatant violation of state and federal civil rights laws to discriminate against someone because of their religious beliefs.”
