“When teaching the human reproductive system, Dr. Varkey… stated that human sex is determined by chromosomes X and Y, and that reproduction must occur between a male and a female to continue the human species,” First Liberty alleges in a letter sent to the college. “In the course of teaching Human Anatomy and Physiology, he made these statements in every class for 20 years, without any incident or complaint.”
“On November 28, 2022, four of Dr. Varkey’s students walked out of his class when he stated, consistent with his study of human biology and his religious beliefs, that sex was determined by chromosomes X and Y,” their letter continues. “Although St. Philip’s College refused to explain any details about the ‘complaints’ directed toward Dr. Varkey, he presumes that the complaints came from these students. In two decades of teaching these basic, unremarkable concepts, no other students have ever complained.” …
He then received a termination letter declaring that his “classroom behavior while facilitating in an official teaching capacity” is “found to be unacceptable.” It cited complaints of his supposed “religious preaching, discriminatory comments about homosexuals and transgender individuals, anti-abortion rhetoric, and misogynistic banter.”
[Actual biological science is no match for political science, apparently. St. Philip’s College had better start putting some capital aside for the big settlement they’ll need to fund. — Ed]
