Kristie on free speech case: ‘I am not alone to be treated this way’
from Christian Concern:
The crucial appeal of Kristie Higgs has begun at the Court of Appeal this morning.
Kristie’s case, which has been supported by the Christian Legal Centre for over five years, will set important legal precedent for free speech and the freedom of Christians to live out their faith in the UK.
In 2019, Kristie was sacked for gross misconduct and had her Christian beliefs compared to neo-Nazism for sharing concern about extreme Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and transgender ideology being introduced to her son’s Church of England primary school.
The Court of Appeal will determine whether it is lawful for an employer to punish employees for private social media posts expressing Christian beliefs and morality.
The case has significant ramifications for Christian freedom in the workplace and the freedom of any employee to express biblical principles on marriage and family, some of which may express opposition to LGBTQI+ ideology, in public or private, without the fear of losing their livelihoods.
Giving a statement outside of the Royal Courts of Justice this morning, Mrs Higgs, said:
