Biology Professor Fired after Telling Students Sex is Based on Chromosomes

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.
