A religious school in Florida says it will only refer to students by their sex assigned at birth, while pupils who are gay, transgender or gender nonconforming "will be asked to leave the school immediately."
NBC News obtained an email from Grace Christian School in Valrico, about 20 miles east of Tampa, sent before the beginning of the school year by Administrator Barry McKeen.
The subject line of the email reads: "Important School Policy Point of Emphasis. ... Please Read."
The June 6 correspondence to parents cited scripture and said that students will be referred to by the "gender on their birth certificates" during the school year beginning this month. While the email refers to "biological gender," the National Institute of Health defines "gender" as a social construct, as opposed to "sex," which is the biological difference between females and males.
"We believe that God created mankind in His image: male (man) and female (woman), sexually different but with equal dignity," the email said.
"Therefore, one's biological sex must be affirmed and no attempts should be made to physically change, alter, or disagree with one's biological gender - including, but not limited to, elective sex reassignment, transvestite, transgender, or non-binary gender fluid acts of conduct (Genesis 1:26-28). Students in school will be referred to by the gender on their birth certificate and be referenced in name in the same fashion."
It continued: "We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, transgender identity/lifestyle, self-identification, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery and pornography are sinful in the sight of God and the church (Genesis 2:24; Leviticus 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-29; I Corinthians 5:1; I Corinthians 6:9; I Thessalonians 4:2-7)."
"Students who are found participating in these lifestyles will be asked to leave the school immediately," the email said.

Good and good riddance to those deviants.
Good. You mean, reintroduce “sanity?”
So how long until their school is vandalized or burned down because of their “hate”?
Taking a stand for God’s Word. Excellent. Well done, principal, well done.
Yeah, if you’re gay or transgender, what are you doing in a Christian school? Trying to corrupt it, probably.
The left cannot abide sanity and the use of common sense, because it works and they know it. One of the reason the left and establishment hate Trump is the fact that his policies worked, but those successes posed a threat to their continued control and malfeasance.
Wow. A Christian institution that actually upholds its faith and shuts down idiotic debates.
It would be a hoot if this did, indeed catch on.
Dang straight!
Tick, tock.
“if you’re gay or transgender, what are you doing in a Christian school? “
...same thing they’ll do in 10 years. Order a penis cake for their “wedding” from a Christian bakery.
The Left is a controlling, converting theology. You’re either with us or we’ll destroy you...for whatever destroy means in whatever context. If you’re a baker who doesn’t want to bake a cake, then you’ll be broken and out of business. If you’re running a private school, we’ll either convert you or take you over to our theology. If you’re a government, we’ll make everything you touch into us by putting whatever we want in every contract. There is no just getting along with the Left. There is no halfway measure they’ll accept.
Here’s the worst thing. Once you’ve agreed to their demands those demands will become ever greater. They can’t say, well we’ve won let’s all just get on with living. What they are is a converting force and if they stop converting and just live with the others who are not them, then they die. Once you’ve agreed with gay marriage, then you must participate in gay marriage. Once you’ve agreed and participated, you must let them change your children to accommodate their needs. Once you’ve done that...well that’s the point we’re at now. When they’ve won and all children are converted only then will we find out what’s next.
The thing is to say no to the first demand and fight them there. They’ll never shut up and you’ll be doing it until they die, but if you give in for the sake of having some peace and quiet, well...you’ll never get there. Ever.
nbc reporting it like the school has somehow acted criminally.
What this story really is, is a call to arms to gays and pro gay lawyers to fight it.
Uncommon common sense! There may be hope!
I am so happy to hear someone stand up against the homo agenda. Good for them!
“the National Institute of Health defines “gender” as a social construct, as opposed to “sex,” which is the biological difference between females and males”
They can define it anyway they want......that doesn’t mean squat.
the parents will seek legal consult instead of mental help for their children
one would assume that ALL religious schools would have similar principals or DID when they were originally founded. Otherwise.. what’s the point?
Hallelujah.
“We believe that God created mankind in His image: male (man) and female (woman), sexually different but with equal dignity...”
Works for me. Hard to argue with our Creator, though the Socialists sure do try, don’t they?
It’s a private school. Their school, their rules.
