‘If not for my beliefs about gender, sexuality, and human life, I would not have been fired,’ biology professor Johnson Varkey argues.
A Texas professor filed a complaint against his employer for violating his freedom of religion and speech by firing him for teaching that gender is defined by chromosomes.
As a professor at the college for 20 years, Varkey routinely taught that “human sex is determined by chromosomes X and Y, and that reproduction must occur between a male and a female to continue the human species.”
Varkey focused on basic biology, using research textbooks and diagrams to back up his teaching. The complaint against him included his use of diagrams of male and female biology in addition to a diagram of the early stages of human life.
