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.
The judges found that the school's decision to return the case to an employment tribunal was "unlawfully discriminatory."
Higgs's posts criticized government policies on sex education and did not express discriminatory attitudes towards students, according to Justice Underhill.
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.
