Inoke Tonga, who worked at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, shared his ordeal on social media. He explained that everything in his life was going well until he was unexpectedly asked to attend a meeting at work.
Tonga claims that it became a 90-minute “spiritual connection” session with the campus pastor and athletic director, adding that he was made to feel “belittled”.
After persistently being asked about any “changes in lifestyle that were life-changing”, the pastor and athletic director accused Tonga of being gay based on social media posts they had seen – something which they felt went against the school’s values and beliefs.
