The UK Teaching Authority (TRA) was recently dominated by Professor Joshua Sutcliffe, 33; He earned not one of his disciples the “dignity and reverence.”. His “crime”? Not using masculine pronouns with a female student known as a boy.
Sutcliffe, an evangelical Christian and former mathematician, was admitted teaching at Cherwell School, a state secondary school in Oxford. since he wanted to praise his students and did not use “proper” pronouns. “Well done, girls,” said the professor, who admitted it was inadvertent and immediately apologized for it.
The law protected him
The TRA stated that the accused professor was repeatedly in the matter and this in 2015 and 2018 referred to transgender students using the “bad” pronoun. Sutcliffe claimed it was a “slip”.
On the part of the professor, the lawyer argued that “A student did not undergo sex reassignment, and therefore; The law does not require the use of pronouns of the students’ choice«.
Sutcliffe was also convicted of “indecency”. to express in general the opinion against gay marriage.
A complaint was also filed against him for showing the film to students, which he said is an increasing problem in today’s society. men are not masculine enough.
Sutcliffe’s case is very similar Enoch Burgo A Christian high school teacher in Ireland who was traveling prison refuses the pronoun trans (which he refused to use if he was a Spaniard).
Burgo was professor of German, History and Politics at the Wilson Hospital School (Westmeath, Ireland), an English school.
The school tried for a long time to use him as a “pronoun transl”; addressing the student in the process of “gender transition”. They asked him to address the student with the pronoun “them”. He refused, citing, among other things, his Christian beliefs (you can read their story here).
The school then suspended the teacher and prevented him from going to the center. Because he wanted to go to class, the school got a judge to eat him the order prohibiting the institution. And because he insisted on showing it there A Westmath County judge requested that he be held in contempt.
