Christian teacher Joshua Sutcliffe faces disciplinary hearing

A respected Christian maths teacher at a school in Oxfordshire is facing discipline for ‘misgendering’ a student.

Joshua Sutcliffe, from Oxford, began working at the school in September 2015 and currently teaches children aged 11-18. He has achieved excellent results, with his Key Stage 3 students outperforming every parallel class.

But on November 2, a complaint was made that Joshua referred to a pupil as a ‘girl’, rather than the desired ‘boy’.

Although born as a girl, the pupil had self-declared as ‘male’. Joshua had not been given any formal instruction on how to refer to the pupil. An investigation began immediately, during which Joshua was prevented from teaching and forced to spend all his time ‘in isolation’ in the staff room. He is now suspended, pending a further investigation.

‘Transgender ideology is being imposed’

Responding to the disciplinary process, Joshua commented: “I have been shocked and saddened by the actions of the school, which, in my opinion, reflect an increasing trend of seeing Christians, people like me, being marginalised in the public square, and our beliefs punished and silenced.

“While the suggestion that gender is fluid conflicts sharply with my Christian beliefs, I recognise my responsibility as a teacher and Christian to treat each of my pupils with respect and dignity.

“I have never looked to impose my convictions on others, I just try to earnestly live out the gospel of peace.

“I have balanced these factors by calling the pupil by the chosen name and although I did not intentionally refer to the pupil as a ‘girl’, I do not believe it is unreasonable to call someone a girl if they were born a girl.

“The aggressive way in which transgender ideology is being imposed is undermining my freedom of belief and conscience, as well as the conscience of many people throughout our nation who believe that gender is assigned at birth.

“I have a deep conviction that we are all made in God’s image, male and female.”

‘A flood of cases’

Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre which is supporting Joshua said:

“This case is one of a flood of cases we are encountering where teachers are finding themselves silenced or punished if they refuse to fall in line with the current transgender fad.

“We all know how much we change during our teenage years. It is vital that during those years we help our children to live in the biological sex they were born rather than encouraging them to change ‘gender’. If we encourage them to change gender it is not kind and compassionate; it is cruel.

“What we need is a culture in our schools which gives emotional support to children through puberty without encouraging them to make life-long decisions against their natural born biological sex.

“If we collude in the transgender delusion we do not serve our children well, we harm them.”

‘Discriminatory behaviours’

Following the week-long investigation, the school found that Joshua ‘misgendered’ the pupil, ‘demonstrating discriminatory behaviours’ and ‘[contravened] the school’s equality policy’. The school recommended dealing with the matter of ‘misconduct’ under the disciplinary policy.

Since the pupil started at the school, Joshua has tried to balance his sincerely held Christian belief that biological sex is God-given and defined at birth, with the need to treat sensitively the pupil. He avoided the use of gender-specific pronouns, and instead referred to the pupil by the pupil’s chosen name. Joshua admits saying “Well done girls” when he addressed a group of students including the pupil in question. The pupil became irate at this and Joshua sought to defuse the situation and apologized.

Bible club cancelled

Whilst working at the school, Joshua also began running a successful Bible club, which was attended by over 100 pupils before being shut down by the school 18 months after its inception. He was initially told by the Headteacher that the Bible club could not run without a register and a curriculum. Yet, after producing the required documents, the Head still insisted on cancelling the club. During this time, the school’s LGBTI club, mindfulness club, and Qigong club continued running without a register or curriculum.

Following a grievance meeting initiated by a deputy headteacher, it was found that the Bible club could continue running but only when the school was satisfied that it could be run in such a way that upheld the school’s policies. Determined to comply with the conditions and have the club reinstated, Joshua made numerous attempts over the following five weeks to follow instructions to reinstate the Bible club to be run in a way which upheld the school’s policies. After ignoring the issue over this period, the Head agreed to a meeting where the issues would be discussed.

International media attention

Since Joshua’s story hit the newspapers on Sunday, his case has been featured all over the news – on TV and radio as well as newspapers.

(These are my views as a woman living in England, on how the culture and spirit of my country has changed over 50 years.   Why the country does not feel protected or strong any more, how it has lost, and is losing it values and decency, and how we are daily losing our free speech.)

Almost everyone knows what it is like to live with a family member, a friend, or a work colleague, who through an outright or subtle form of manipulation, can eventually wear you down into submission.

Sometimes, we call it a ‘battle of wills’; as we attempt to fight off a wilful or controlling spirit that manifests itself through many relationships that we are involved in.   You can be urged to believe its ideals, cater to its requests, and forced to adhere to its ways.

A spirit of conformity eventually robs you of your true identity, if you are not aware. Grinded down, some have completely lost the battle for their souls.  Attrition warfare, a process of wearing down an opponent has been taking place, ‘spiritually’.  Your energy has been stolen, bit by bit, to feed an entity that has no decent life force of its own.  It has used the adage of the ‘common good’ or ‘keeping the peace’ as a tactic against you in its arsenal.

On a global scale, this invisible entity has also been building up an army of soldiers and snipers to use ammunition to fire against its very own comrades.

Covert agents are everywhere residing in the media, government services, the health service, education, and religion.

Death is the outcome.   You are the target, and your co-operation is demanded, and not requested.

Common Purpose

A malevolent spirit, which can be experienced in the majority of public workplaces, and for which most people cannot quite fully explain or put their finger upon, is a form of oppression disguised under leadership or change management, that creates a sense of instability and confusion, depending on how many times you go through a process of change.   It has been infiltrating society over quite a number of years.

It is not unusual on occasion to detect a very common trend in tactics used through specialized learning and behavior techniques, such as NLP, which eventually finds you somehow agreeing with an outcome instigated by a friendly facilitator who has already pre-planned the outcome of how you will view and deal with a project.

You can sometimes sense you have been merely ‘used’ in your association with people who use behavior techniques, and they are sometimes unaware of the effect and the damage they have created.

This system can rob you of your own individual and creative skills and also rob you of your free will.  It will also edify the facilitator into falsely believing they are the new and ‘much wiser’ leader in society for achieving the desired outcome.   Eventually, you learn never to trust them, even though they believe they are leading by example.

It is widely reported that Common Purpose, CP, a political charity, reported to be funded by public money, may be at the root cause of destroying democracy, by selecting personnel who work in the public sector into their leadership programmes to influence and determine their desired change. Using Neuro Linguistic Programming and behavioural techniques, Common Purpose boasts that it trains the future leaders of society, and that at the core of what they do are two strands of thought leadership:

Leading Beyond Authority and Cultural Intelligence (CQ).

If you have noticed over a period of time that public services such as local councils who once served the community have now changed into law enforcers; it may be possible that the senior leaders of those organizations have partaken in common purpose training, and disseminated that work ethos down through the organization and out into society.

It is reported there are now 65,000 CP Alumni worldwide having an impact on the cities they operate in and 4,000 new leaders benefiting from the programme every year.

You can read about the organization here and the global impact it is having upon the world.

And for further information about the exposure of Common Purpose you can read about it below:

Cultural Intelligence training, which also works alongside Emotional Intelligence and considered a vital requirement if you wish to get on in leadership positions; may appear to be a very considerate way of respecting the differences in other cultures or lifestyles in order to work more effectively in business.

However, in effect, is it really about learning how to make a multi-cultural society blend into one, and is it side-lining anyone’s beliefs that just may not tie up with common purpose ideals?

Cultural Intelligence talks a lot about your core and your flex. The core is who you are and the beliefs that you have and which should not change.   The flex is your adaptability, your knowledge and your consideration towards other cultures in order to work together without changing your core.

However, one does not have to assume what cultural intelligence is, when on a daily basis we personally experience the reality of the very biased consideration which is continually being given to others.    The foundations of the British way of life have been sacrificed and it has lost its own identity.

Consider just a few examples of what is really taking place.

• The case of Joshua Sutcliffe, a Christian maths teacher at a school in Oxfordshire facing discipline for calling a female student a ‘girl’ when they wanted to be called a boy.  The school has accused Joshua of ‘mis-gendering’ the pupil contravening the school’s equality policy. 
• Felix Ngole, expelled from his course at Sheffield University for stating his Christian views on marriage and sexual ethics on Facebook.   It is thought his views could have offended someone.
• Sarah Kuteh a Christian nurse fired by the NHS for talking to patients about her faith while she was helping them get ready for surgery.
• Richard Page, a magistrate who has been disciplined by a Cabinet minister and England’s highest judge for saying that he thought a child’s best interests lie in being raised by a mother and a father.
• Barry Trayhorn, a Pentecostal minister forced to resign after a complaint was made about a bible verse he quoted at a prison chapel service.

(These cases are being defended by Christian Concern lawyers)

All of these cases have happened within health, education, law, and religion, and are not isolated cases. They happen on a daily basis.

The above people are being punished for their ‘beliefs’ which can be kept private, but never expressed. They now stand outside the new norms of society, as they have not yet conformed or compromised. They unfortunately will never be able to have enough ‘flex’ to progress in their careers in society, despite being very gifted and experienced people.  They must be punished.

With emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence and social intelligence all being used as a superior standard of interacting with people, the genuine is becoming lost and we live in a false world of caring for each other, whilst destroying each other with lies.

People are suffering under attrition warfare, a sustained process of wearing down an opponent until they physically collapse and they lose the will to fight.

As Christ was crucified on the cross, the truth is being crucified in the UK.

Who will win this War of Attrition, and which side will you stand on, the winner or the losers? Who is your leader, and who are you following?
