“A Federal Investigation”
by The Christian post   
December 3rd, 2012

A federal investigation has begun in an Alabama school district after a Junior ROTC instructor allegedly expressed his belief that the Bible does not support the homosexual lifestyle during class.

The U.S. Department of Education recently sent a letter to Huntsville City Schools Superintendent Casey Wardynski, informing him that the department will be looking into the incident that occurred in April at Grissom High School.

A female student in the class was offended after the instructor, 1st Sgt. Lynn Vanzandt, expressed his beliefs about same-sex relationships. The 15-year-old student and her mother, Mia Gonzales, then contacted a local gay advocacy group, GLBT Advocacy and Youth Services, which complained to the school on the student's behalf.

"My first thought was, 'What if there was a gay student in that class that looked up to that instructor?'" Gonzales told AL.com in August. "I'm not arguing with what people believe. But what if this one student would have committed suicide? That was a concern for me."

On Nov. 21 the DOE sent a letter to James Robinson, director of GLBT Advocacy and Youth Services, which says the department will be investigating whether or not students were "subjected to a hostile environment on the basis of sex or harassment based on failing to conform to gender stereotypes." They will also seek to find out if the school district "retaliated against the Student...by failing to respond and take action reasonably calculated to stop the peer bullying."

Editors Note....Society is saying we will not tolerate any expression that presents what God's Word teaches. Our world has declared war on God and His Word.
