Harassed for caring for children
by Tim Dieppe, Christian Concern:
Part-time school caretaker, Keith Waters received death threats and harassment from members of the local community after posting a tweet critical of Pride event. The school, instead of defending his right to free speech or to be critical of Pride events, conducted an investigation and accused him of bringing the school into disrepute. He eventually felt forced to resign.
The new blasphemy
Criticism of Pride is the new blasphemy against our current cultural idols. Woe betide anyone who criticises Pride. If you don’t bow to the rainbow flag, you will incur the wrath of the LGBT activists. Instead of engaging in rational argument, their tactics are bullying – death threats, harassment, intimidation, and lobbying to get your employer to sack you. All in the name of freedom and rights. Their actions betray their intolerance and hatred.
What was so offensive?
So, what did Keith Waters tweet? What was so offensive? Was there a threat of violence? Was there anything sexually explicit? Did it suggest that some people will go to hell or be judged by God for their actions? Was there a curse? Did it show hatred?
No.
Here is the text of the offending tweet:
