Christian school worker sacked over LGBT+ posts wins court appeal

Kristie Higgs won her appeal after being dismissed from Farmor's School for sharing posts about LGBT+ teaching in schools, as ruled by three judges in the Court of Appeal.

After her victory, Higgs stated, "Christians have the right to express their beliefs on social media and at other non-work-related settings without fear of being punished by their employer.
