YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA biology professor at a Texas community college has claimed he was fired for “religious preaching” after he taught a lesson about how sex is determined by X and Y chromosomes.
Johnson Varkey, who has taught at St. Philip’s College in San Antonio for 20 years, claimed he was accused of “religious preaching” and let go after he discussed the human reproductive system during a lesson on Nov. 28, 2022, which led to four students walking out of the lecture hall.
The First Liberty Institute, a Texas-based nonprofit Christian conservative law firm, last week sent a letter to the school on behalf of the veteran educator demanding his reinstatement.
