FFRF put a stop to a teacher preaching anti-LGBTQ-plus messages in Carter County Schools in Grayson, Ky.

A student reported that a teacher at East Carter High school preached the bible to students during class, telling students that God would never love someone if they are gay.

“By telling students that God will never love them if they are gay, [the teacher] creates a hostile classroom environment for his LGBTQ-plus students,” FFRF Anne Nicol Gaylor Legal Fellow Kyle J. Steinberg wrote to the district.

FFRF’s letter received an emailed response from Personnel & Federal Programs Director Joshua Mabry, informing FFRF that the issue had been addressed. “The policy referenced was policy 3.13241 regarding Employee Religious Expression,” Mabry wrote. “While I cannot comment on personnel issues, I can confirm that our staff are directed to avoid promoting religion in the classroom.”
