Kristie Higgs was a dedicated teaching assistant at a comprehensive school, who always put her students' education and well-being first. She was passionate about her job and loved engaging with her students in the classroom. Despite her love for her work, Kristie found herself at the center of a controversial debate when she was fired for expressing her views on LGBTQ+ relationships.
As a devoted Christian, Kristie spoke out against the school's plan to teach about LGBTQ+ relationships, which she believed went against her religious beliefs. She faced discrimination and backlash from her colleagues and the school administration. Some questioned why she even worked in a secular school, but Kristie firmly believed that all schools should be inclusive and accepting of different beliefs.
In response to the criticism, Kristie posed a thought-provoking question, asking if a teacher or assistant who disagreed with LGBTQ+ relationships should not be allowed to work in a school. She reminded everyone that these relationships exist and should not be hidden or ignored. Kristie also challenged the idea that her beliefs should limit her job opportunities, comparing it to a Christian refusing to work in an off-licence that sells alcohol.
The controversial topic sparked a debate among readers, with some agreeing with Kristie's views and others questioning her actions.
