University Teaching Student Suspended for Stating a Basic Biological Fact

Aimee Herd-Op/Ed : Mar 2, 2021  Breaking Christian News

Good for you, Owen Stevens, we need more individuals who have the courage to stand up and speak the truth; “the emperor has nothing on at all!” and, there are only two genders: male and female.

Remember Hans Christian Andersen's folk tale "The Emperor's New Clothes"? An emperor was given a new suit to wear which consisted of nothing at all, but was told how beautiful it was, so he wore it (nothing) before all his subjects. (Screengrab image)

In fear of being labeled a dissident, the people went along with the ruse, heaping praise for the Emperor's new clothes—all except a child, who innocently pointed out the truth—the monarch was wearing nothing at all.

In light of a recent headline from Daily Wire, I was immediately reminded of this classic parable.

Education student, Owen Stevens was suspended, according to the report by Chrissy Clark, for his lack of sensitivity in his online teaching videos which simply state the biological truth—backed by science—that "a man is a man and a woman is a woman."

Stevens was reprimanded by the Dean of State University of New York (SUNY) who claimed that his "public position is in conflict with the Dignity of All Students Act requiring teachers to maintain a classroom environment protecting the mental and emotional wellbeing of all students."

He was reportedly ordered to take down his Instagram videos, "tone down" his social media presence and attend "school-sanctioned training."

Stevens told the Daily Wire that he has refused to "take part in ‘re-education' training."

Good for you, Owen Stevens, we need more individuals who have the courage to stand up and speak the truth; "the emperor has nothing on at all!" and, there are only two genders: male and female.

And to SUNY's dean, what about the mental and well-being of those students that see the facts and choose to speak and live according to reality and truth?

Isn't their well-being at risk if they're told they cannot hold this view?

For the record, a spokeswoman for SUNY said in a statement to the Daily Wire, "SUNY Geneseo respects every student's right to freedom of speech and expression. By choosing to enter into certain professional fields, students agree to abide by the professional standards of their chosen field. At times, these professional standards dictate that students act and behave in certain ways that may differ from their personal predilections."

I always thought science was pretty much apolitical, however, now apparently even those teaching scientific facts are told to ignore them for the sake of political correctness.

If not they will be "re-educated."

Unfortunately, this is not just one university, but this damaging ideology is being implemented in school districts across the nation. (A great reason for parents to homeschool if they can)

We're living in a time when what is false is being paraded as truth, and what is actually TRUTH is being condemned and "canceled."

I guess it should be no surprise as we know from God's Word that the ruler of this world is the "father of lies."

But it should spur us on to be unafraid in speaking the TRUTH; and to speak it in love. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
