The ACLU Just Filed This Test Case

Sep 30, 2024

The ACLU setting up an LGBTQ test case hoping the courts will force a Christian University to abandon its Christian mission and doctrine. Liberty Counsel is on this case and we are not about to let the ACLU succeed.

In 2023, Bob* applied for and was offered a job at a Christian university. As a matter of policy, all new hires are required to sign a doctrinal statement agreeing to abide by the university’s deeply held religious beliefs as a condition of employment. The doctrinal statement clearly states that God created male and female in His image.

Bob, it turns out, was already several months into taking female hormones and changing his name to “Bobby Sue” when he deceitfully applied for the university job. Immediately following the probation period, he informed the university about his secret plan and demanded the Christian school abandon its doctrine.

Now he is demanding the school acquiesce to his “sex change,” call him by false pronouns, and use his new female name – all of which is in direct violation of the doctrinal agreement Bob signed just five months before.

Bob/Bobby Sue’s entire employment was a sham designed to undermine the university’s Christian doctrine. With the help of the ACLU, Bob is now SUING the university. Liberty Counsel is now fighting back and ready to take this case to the Supreme Court.

Don’t let the LGBTQ shut down Christian universities.

A generous donor has established a Challenge Grant to support our work. It’s an all-or-nothing grant, so we must raise 125,000 dollars in donations by midnight TONIGHT, Monday, September 30, to receive this much needed grant. Will you help put us over the top?

Among other things, the university’s doctrinal statement notes that “Human beings were directly created, not evolved, in the very image of God, as either biologically male or female from the womb.” Additionally, “Sinful acts are prohibited by God and include ... denial of birth sex by self-identification with a different gender.”

Bob signed the doctrinal statement even though he had secretly been in the process of a sex change when he signed the statement and continued with his sex change procedure even after signing and accepting the university job. In other words, Bob LIED.

Bob’s agenda, was not to seek a career with the university but to set up the esteemed university for a discrimination lawsuit that would not only financially benefit Bob, but also force the school to abandon the very doctrine upon which it was founded.

To illustrate how much of a “setup” this case is, Bob’s own letter to the school reveals that he signed the doctrinal agreement in bad faith. In the letter revealing his secret after his probationary period, Bob revealed that he had been undergoing his “sex change” procedures for four full months before he signed the employment agreement. And after receiving the job, Bob continued, only informing the university AFTER his 90-day probationary period had ended.

The LGBTQ mafia has joined forces with the ACLU in an effort to force Christian institutions to abandon their religious doctrine.

We must raise 125,000 by midnight TONIGHT to receive a generous matching grant. Your gift WILL make a difference. Please support our work today!

The university has been true to its Christian mission and does not plan on changing to accommodate something that is not biblical. The idea that you can choose your “gender” is absurd. God created male and female.

Allowing employees to fundamentally ignore the biological reality of their God-given birth would violate the university’s sincerely held religious beliefs.

Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act enables religious organizations to create and maintain communities composed solely of individuals faithful to their doctrinal practices, whether or not every individual plays a direct role in the organization’s religious activities.

In other words, non-believers may not force religious employers to drop or violate their deeply held religious beliefs.

And the First Amendment Free Exercise Clause protect this Christian university. We will not allow the ACLU to steamroll this Christian school. The issue transcends this university.

This law is about to be tested in the courts. The ACLU is launching an all-out war with this case to try to effectively extinguish Christian institutions’ ability to shine Christ’s light into this ever-darkening world.

We need your help to protect religious freedom from those who seek to extinguish Christ’s light from this world.

In our 35 years, Liberty Counsel has won 37 cases we have argued or briefed before the U.S. Supreme Court, and countless other cases before state courts and the Courts of Appeals.

Liberty Counsel’s victories will have generational impact protecting the right to life, religious freedom, and the natural family.

New challenges to our nation’s most fundamental freedoms arise every single day. Liberty Counsel is ready and willing to fight, but only YOUR SUPPORT makes it possible for us to preserve freedom.

We have just hours left to meet a special 125,000-dollar Challenge Grant. This is an “all or nothing” grant. We must raise 125,000 in donations by midnight tonight, September 30, to receive this gift. Sadly, we are still short.

Please, help push us over the top with your gift today!
