District Vindicates Student Who Opposed Homosexuality

District vindicates student who objected to homosexuality [Excerpts]

A Texas school district where a student was removed from class and written up on allegations of "bullying" after he expressed his Bible-based opinion about homosexuality has been vindicated by school officials.

The case involved student Dakota Ary, who said to a classmate in a German-language class that was discussing religion, "I'm a Christian and, to me, being homosexual is wrong."

Teacher Kristopher Franks overheard the comment, according to a report from Liberty Counsel, and wrote the student an infraction and sent him to the principal's office.It happened in the Western Hills High school district in Fort Worth.

The class topic had been religious beliefs in Germany. During the discussion, one student asked what Germans thought about homosexuality in relation to religion. Another student then asked to hear some translated terms such as "lesbian." The questions provoked the conversation about Christianity and Dakota's expression of his opinion to one classmate, the legal team reported.

Liberty Counsel now is reporting that the district has issued a letter that apologizes for the delay in returning the student to his class.
