This teacher was denounced by one of his students, just as in totalitarian regimes such as National Socialist Germany and the Soviet Union, where young people, so easily led, were exhorted to report their elders who deviated from the groupthink of the day. At Lincoln College Preparatory Academy, the little Hitler Youth reported his English teacher to his superiors for daring to express his Christian faith, which is so far from what is politically and ideologically correct these days that the young Stalinist was shocked out of his Mao suits when the teacher expressed his convictions that Islam was false and that homosexuality was wrong. He doesn’t appear to have gone beyond that; in other words, he didn’t say that any violence or anything untoward at all should be done to Muslims or homosexuals; he just expressed his disapproval. But that was enough for this budding Stasi agent, and he turned him in. Then the school suspended the teacher, saying they did so in order to preserve a safe environment for students — because as everyone knows, words that dissent from the Left’s agenda equal violence.
The fact that this young man’s Muslim friends would affirm their conviction that Christianity is false and that homosexuality is wrong is likely something he does not know, and would not care about if he did know. He knows that Muslims are a protected class and any criticism of Islam would be “Islamophobic.” That is all he knows, and all he needs to know.
“KCPS teacher criticized for remarks about Muslims and LGBTQ+ population,” by Betsy Webster, KCTV, October 28, 2021:
KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) — A teacher at Lincoln College Preparatory Academy High School has been placed on leave because of some controversial comments he made in class.
Students report the 10th grade English teacher was preaching about Christianity, then disparaging Muslims and LGBTQ+ people.
KCTV5 talked with a student with his mom’s permission and agreed not to use his name to keep strangers from contacting him. That student was in the class where it happened Monday. He said it came out of the blue 10 minutes into class.
“And then he kind of got a little emotional and said, ‘If I get fired for this, I don’t really care. I care more about you guys’ and then started to say stuff about how God loves us and he’s going to save us and how if you don’t, like, basically convert to Christianity, then you’re going to live a bad life,” the student recounted. “It was very uncomfortable.”
Students then started debating with the teacher, he said. He recorded a portion of the interchange on his phone and shared the video with KCTV, which goes as follows:
Teacher: Homophobia. What does that mean, like scared of homosexuals?
Student: Homosexuality is a sin in the Bible.
Teacher: Yes.
Student: Meaning it’s a bad thing in the Bible.
Teacher: Yes.
Student: (Unintelligible)
Teacher: Like, what makes saying that homosexuality is wrong not a horrible thing?
Student: Yeah, not a horrible (unintelligible).
Teacher: It’s just a wrong thing.
Students then reportedly asked about other religions.“He said that he thinks Muslims are wrong and that Mohammed was a terrible person,” the student recalled.
The principal sent an email to parents saying, in part, “Both LCPA [Lincoln College Preparatory Academy] and KCPS [Kansas City Public Schools] are committed to a school environment that is safe and welcoming for everyone, including honoring separation of church and state within our school community.”
The student KCTV5 interviewed was pleased with how the administration handled the situation, noting that he emailed the principal from class and the teacher was gone at the end of the next period.
A district spokeswoman sent the following statement:
“Our students deserve better than what they got, and we are so grateful to the students who came forward to make us aware of what was happening. Once our administrators were made aware, they went into the teacher’s classroom to observe. At that point the teacher was removed from the classroom and placed on administrative leave.”
“I’m pretty sure like 99% of everyone is agreeing that he should not come back to school for a while,” the reporting student said of the student body’s response.
He said there are a significant number of Muslim and LGBTQ+ students at the school, adding that — until yesterday — the teacher was well-liked for giving students a lot of creative freedom on writing assignments.
The district spokeswoman said any disciplinary action would come after an internal investigation, which began immediately….

“[T]he young Stalinist was shocked out of his Mao suits when the teacher expressed his convictions that Islam was false and that homosexuality was wrong.”
How many Mao suits was the young Stalinist wearing? Is there video evidence of his desuitification?

Criticizing Islam is bad, criticizing America, Christianity, Jews are all good. So is it in leftist Woke America.
Michael Copeland says
It is basic Anglican doctrine that Islam is a false religion.

Thank you Michael Copeland, you are exactly right!

Truth is hate speech and the workers for satan the devil are kept busy reporting on it, and denouncing it, and claiming it makes everyone unsafe, and feeling unwelcome, and pretty much anything else this foolish generation can invent and then use in teaching another generation to be just as foolish…to their detriment.
It doesn’t sound from what the spy recorded that the teacher actually crossed any lines, but if there is more, if he actually said what the spy claimed he said (why is that part not recorded?), then perhaps he went too far in trying to help his students.
One is not allowed in this time to attempt doing the *right* thing, to try to turn young people in a better direction than following the latest fad (that perverts have brought into the classroom, which seem to be just hunky-dory) or believing everything they hear on cnn or other lying networks, and believing that mozlums are not here to hurt them, but just want to be “welcome” and “accepted” as they scheme and plan the takeover…if they can do it before china does.
Pretty much sick of all of this and it’s going to get worse.
Carlos Rodriguez says
As a Hispanic of Iberian ancestry, my ancestorsc suffered 7 centuries of Muslim occupation… I’m ok with leaving history in the books… Yet these idiots are triggered by a teacher’s statements? The consonant club (lgbt+) would find tolerance a meager commodity in a place controlled by “the religion of peace”…
I’m certain the reporting student will now be popular among these protected groups.
gravenimage says
Exactly, Carlos.
Infidel says
Would the action have been that prompt had it been a muslim teacher preaching the superiority of islam over Christianity and calling on students to convert, while still maintaining the same statement about LGBTQIA….?
And this is happening in a pretty red state. Conservatives have ways to go before we eradicate the dhimmis amongst us

Kansas City: Student denounces teacher for criticizing Islam, teacher is placed on leave

…………….
Exactly what I was thinking, Just chilling.
Westman says
And we wonder why the brightest university graduates don’t teach High School. The inmates run (ruin) the institution and there are much higher-paying jobs outside of education for the same talent stack.
While studying and majoring in STEM subjects at the University, I took a few education classes and was assigned to a high school as an assistant to a minimally competent teacher. What an eye opener. Then it was only disrespectful behavior by a few students. Now, 45 years later, it is political and puts power into the hands of immature adolescents to destroy their own future.
Little Red Book anyone? Report parents listening to Talk Radio?
