Christian Man Victimised by LGBT Activists, Loses Job

LTG Boykin fired from his teaching job due to concerns by LGBT activists.

Quote:
College boots ex-Delta Force hero after complaint from LGBT activists

Jerry Boykin is the kind of man you’d want teaching your sons – a good and decent man, an honorable man – a Christian man.

For the past nine years the retired lieutenant general has taught leadership and ethics at Hampden-Sydney College, a highly regarded, all-male school based in Virginia. By many accounts – he is beloved and deeply respected by students.

But Gen. Boykin will not be returning to the classroom this fall. That’s because he tells me he's been fired.

Hampden-Sydney was founded in 1776. They take great pride in their motto: “Come here as boys so you may leave as men.”

So much for that.

We don't "think" anymore. We "feel". Used to, a person could reason out things and shape his life by them. Now it seems, if you don't feel someone else's perceived pain, you're wrong...no matter how rational, innocent, or unintended your comment is.

Gen Boykin, you deserve so much better than this.

Good for him for saying what needed to be said.

He can find employment elsewhere!

I'm surprised that Hampden-Sydney hasn't taken this to the logical conclusion and closed shop and apologized for centuries of sexual discrimination as an all-male school.

I remember not long ago this was about equal pay and benefits, how quickly it has turned into retribution and judgement of others who do not believe the same way. I can't help but think it must be about the 1200 lb elephant in the room....that is actually something else entirely.



Description of the Elephant-
Deviant behaviors, or deviant acts in society refer to behavior that violate social norms and expectations. Deviance can be something as small as dressing in gothic clothing, or something as serious as burning someone's house down.Aug 10, 2015

I was surprised to find it, I thought they did away with all this verbiage......Sociology 101 I believe......
