44-year-old teaching assistant Kristie Higgs lost her job after sharing a controversial Facebook post about LGBTQ+ ‘indoctrination’ which she believes is ‘brainwashing children’.
She suggested that Christianity teaches marriage should be between a man and a woman and linked a petition which criticised LGBTQ+ inclusive education.
Higgs (known on Facebook by her maiden name Mentor) wrote the new education reforms were designed to ‘suppress Christianity’, and felt it was her ‘moral obligation’ to share her thoughts on the matter.
Higgs is now seeking thousands in damages from Farmor’s school (Gloucestershire), arguing she was fired for her beliefs.Higgs’ anti-LGBTQ+ post comes after educational reforms in the UK which mean LGBTQ+ inclusive.
