46-year-old Christian teaching assistant Kristie Higgs won an appeal against her 2019 dismissal for Facebook posts criticizing gender ideology in children’s education.
Higgs posted an article describing transgender ideas in American children’s books, writing that “This is happening in our primary schools now,” adding that the concepts are “brainwashing our children.”
Farmor’s School in Fairford, Gloucestershire, England, fired Higgs over alleged gross misconduct.
Higgs argued she was fired after being discriminated against for her Christian beliefs.
Reporting from Reclaim the Net:
Higgs pressed on with an appeal at the Employment Appeal Tribunal in London, where the tide turned in her favor. Justice Eady, who presided over the case, stated that the heart of the upcoming hearing would revolve around whether the school’s dismissal was “because of, or related to, the manifestation of the claimant’s protected beliefs, or were due to a justified objection to the manner of that manifestation.”
