Biology Professor Fired after Telling Students Sex is Based on Chromosomes

Clare Marie Merkowsky : Jun 30, 2023  LifeSiteNews.com

While Prof. Johnson Varkey was not given a reason for his termination, it took place shortly after four students walked out of his class where he taught that sex is based on chromosomes. His lawyers at First Liberty say they will take legal action if Varkey isn't reinstated.

According to a letter from First Liberty Legal Groupreleased June 20, biology professor Johnson Varkey was fired from St. Philip's College in San Antonio after four students walked out of his class when Varkey said that sex is determined by chromosomes in November 2023.

A January 10 email from Randall Dawson, the Vice President for Academic Success at St. Philip read, "I am sending you notification that Alamo Colleges District Human Resources department is in receipt of an ethics violation complaint from JBSA-Lackland, related to your facilitation of the BIOL 2402 class, during the Flex II Fall 2022 term."

Varkey, who had taught at the college for 20 years, responded by asking exactly what the violation was, but Dawson didn't respond. Later, on January 27, Varkey received a notice informing him of his termination of employment.

According to the notice of termination, several complaints were made about his alleged "religious preaching, discriminatory comments about homosexuals and transgender individuals, anti-abortion rhetoric, and misogynistic banter."

However, the letter from First Liberty argues that while Varkey is a "devout Christian," he never "mentioned [it] in class" and did not "preach any of his beliefs"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
