A teacher in England is out of a job for a stunning reason: She’s a Christian, and was honest about her beliefs when asked.

According to LifeSiteNews, an experienced educator named Svetlana Powell was fired from an academy for high school age students in Bristol. Not only that, but she was also reported as a “radicalization threat” to a government group that deals with counter-terrorism tips.

The problem began when Powell was asked to “sub” for another teacher. As often happens, some students decided to challenge the temporary teacher and purposely steered the classroom discussion toward her religion. One student in particular kept being disruptive.

“After the lunch break, the student continued talking while producing minimum work, so was asked to move away to the opposite end of the classroom,” LifeSite reported.

“The student objected, and then started to be argumentative about the tutor’s faith, asking her first a question about her personal beliefs on evolution.”

The rest of the class seemed interested in the discussion, so the teacher did what many good educators do: She tried to use the existing topic to create a learning opportunity.

“I decided to use the students’ interest in the subject and to have a discussion to accommodate the activities included in the lesson plan,” Powell explained. “I considered the topic appropriate, as the discussion about Christian views would contribute in raising cultural issues of our day and awareness of the religion of this country.”

It’s a fair point. Considering that Christianity is one of the largest religions in the United Kingdom and throughout the world, having a general understanding of what its followers believe is valuable if only from a cultural awareness perspective, just as understanding what the adherents of Judaism or Hindu believe can be culturally educational.

“The student who had originally been warned about his behaviour then asked the tutor for her personal views on homosexuality,” said LifeSite. “She replied by saying that as a Christian, she ‘personally’ believed the Bible says that homosexual activity was against God’s will, but that God still loves every person regardless of what they did, or who they were.”

This is the key point: The teacher did not set out to lecture the students or push her views, but honestly answered a question posed by the class about her beliefs.

Apparently trying to “bait” the teacher into saying something controversial, the disruptive student who had sparked the discussion singled out a lesbian classmate.

“The same student then said that another student in the group was a lesbian, to which the tutor replied that God loved her,” LifeSite reported.

“The tutor was then asked whether the lesbian student would ‘go to hell’, to which the tutor replied with the historic Christian view that for everyone who repents (turns to God), God has provided a way of salvation to us through His son, Jesus Christ. The tutor said nothing about ‘hell.’”

That interaction was apparently enough to end the teacher’s employment. The next day, Powell was told that students had made a complaint, and she was called in to a hearing by school administrators and made to explain and defend the explanation of her faith that she had told to the class.

When it was all over, Powell was out of a job — and more shockingly, later discovered that she had been referred to “Prevent,” a government anti-terrorist group that investigates reports of radicalism. Who knew “God loves you” was so threatening?

Now, the teacher is suing the school with the assistance of the Christian Legal Centre, based on the view that she was dismissed essentially for being a Christian.

“We are seeing a worrying trend of cases such as this,” said Andrea Williams, an attorney for CLC. “The fact that Svetlana was reported to Prevent for holding Christian views is a sign of our times. It shows how Prevent will be used to punish innocent and soft targets. A radical rethink is required.”

Freedom of religion is supposed to mean that a person’s faith alone cannot be used as the basis for discrimination. It would be one thing of a teacher used her position to try to convert students or brow-beat them with personal views — but Powell did nothing of the sort.

Instead, she simply told the truth when high school-aged students asked about her faith and the tenants of her religion. She didn’t repeat anything hateful, but apparently shared her belief in love. That is shocking and controversial?

Consider for a moment if this teacher had different beliefs. What if she were Sikh or Muslim or atheist? A classroom inquisitively asking a Sikh to explain their religion — or an atheist to explain how they arrived at their views — would be seen as culturally educational.

It’s hard to imagine a teacher of any other faith being dragged in front of a review panel and then shown the door for merely answering questions about their faith. Yet this is happening to Christians with alarming frequency.

Once again, those who talk about “tolerance” turn out to be incredibly intolerant when it comes to conservative or Christian views. America should pay attention, because this growing issue is not isolated to just Britain.

There’s a reason firearms are sometimes called “great equalizers”: A gun in the hands of a law-abiding citizen can level the playing field with criminals, and give individuals a fighting chance against being prey.

That’s exactly what a handgun did for a cashier in Kinston, North Carolina. According to WITN News, an armed robbery at a convenience store went sideways after the employee refused to be a victim, and defended himself with a concealed pistol.

“Officers were called to the USA Store on 201 S. Adkin St. for a report of an armed robbery,” reported the local news station. “It happened right around 10pm. Officers were told that two black men entered the store and demanded money; one of them reportedly carried a rifle.”

The criminals no doubt thought that nobody would dare fight back if they were carrying a large gun. They thought wrong.

“Police say the store clerk fired a shot at the two suspects who then fled the scene in a silver vehicle,” continued WITN. Surveillance video was also released of the incident, and it shows the dramatic confrontation unfold.

As the two men barge in, the second thug quickly raises his gun toward the employee behind the counter. Thinking quickly, the worker appears to step sideways and then draw his own handgun, targeting the intruders.

The moment the robbers see that their “victim” is armed, they panic and flee. In the confusion, the man with the rifle drops his own gun in the doorway, leaving a helpful piece of evidence behind for the police. How thoughtful.

It isn’t clear how many shots the clerk managed to get off or if any of the criminals were injured. Considering how well armed they were, however, it’s a safe bet that the employee’s concealed carry pistol may have saved his life.

Once again, the media and liberal narrative that “guns never solve anything” has been proven to be false. One look at this video shows just how quickly and dramatically one armed citizen changed the dynamics of the incident.

The simple fact is that most criminals seek out easy targets. Once those “victims” bare their proverbial teeth, thugs often go scurrying back where they came from.

That certainly doesn’t mean that guns are magic crime-stoppers, but case after case shows that firearms can protect people and save lives when seconds count.

For instance, the NRA’s “Armed Citizen” archive collects press and police reports of guns being used by Americans for self-defense. It contains thousands of real-life, verified instances of individuals using guns to defend themselves.

Statistics back up a trend that no doubt drives gun-grabbers crazy: Gun ownership in America has been increasing, but violent crime numbers are actually declining.

“According to data retrieved from the Centers for Disease Control, there were 7 firearm-related homicides for every 100,000 Americans in 1993,” reported CNS News.

“By 2013, the gun homicide rate had fallen by nearly 50 percent to only 3.6 homicides per 100,000 population,” continued that news outlet.

But what about gun ownership stats?

“Adjusted for the U.S. population, the number of guns per American increased from 0.93 per person in 1993 to 1.45 in 2013, which is a 56 percent increase in the number of guns per person that occurred during the same period when gun violence decreased by 49 percent,” CNS explained.

There’s no getting around it: When in the right hands, guns can stop crime… and that’s what two thugs in North Carolina found out the hard way.

Despite the leftist narrative that President Donald Trump shuts out the mainstream media, New York Times photographer Doug Mills says he has more access to Trump than he ever did to former President Barack Obama.

According to The Hill, Jones met with C-SPAN for a sit-down interview that airs Feb. 11.

In a preview of the clip, Jones applauds President Trump’s availability to the media.

“We’re getting a lot more, I mean from a photographer’s standpoint, we get a lot more access to the president,” Jones said.

“I see him more on a daily basis than we did with Barack Obama,” he continued.

When asked about his job photographing the president, Jones said: “It’s exhausting, but it’s great.”

“I love what I’m doing, I’ve got the greatest job in the world,” he stated.

Clearly, a man who works for the media would not admit he loves his job if President Trump was as awful as liberals portray him.

Watch a clip of the interview below:

Jones also called President Trump “one of the most iconic” presidents he has ever photographed.

“I look at just the past year in photographing Donald Trump and he’s probably one of the most iconic. It’s challenging but it’s fun,” Jones explained.

According to Fortune, President Obama once criticized President Trump for his dealings with the media.

Obama liked to tout his own availability and the “transparency” of his administration.

If all that is true, why did President Obama grant the media limited access to his life in the White House? Was there something to hide?

Perhaps President Trump is fine with being transparent and available to the media because unlike Obama, he didn’t have anything to hide.

Suburban Columbus, Ohio’s Westerville Police Department lost two officers Saturday when a suspect opened fire as they arrived to respond to a hung up 911 call.

Officer Eric Joering, 39, died at the scene. His partner, Officer Anthony Morelli, 54, made it to the Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center before succumbing to his wounds. According to Columbus CBS affiliate WBNS, the two veteran officers had been on the force 16 and 29 years respectively.

The suspect is in custody, but nothing about his identity has been made public. His motive is also unclear, but Cinncinati.com reported that it may have been a “potential” domestic violence situation.

Westerville police Chief Joe Morbitzer told reporters the two policemen were “immediately met with gunfire,” when they arrived at an apartment at 12:10 p.m., minutes after their department received a 911 call that quickly hung up. “The officers gave their lives in defense of others,” Morbitzer continued, calling his officers “true American heroes.”

“These were two of the best we had, this was their calling and they did it right, they knew how to do policing the right way, both of them,” Morbitzer said.

Joering once made headlines for his kindness in the line of duty when he bought lunch for a homeless man about whom “suspicious person” calls had been made.

Ohio’s leading politicians of both parties offered their condolences on hearing the tragic news. Governor John Kaisch, who lives in Westerville, tweeted:

The finest among us are those who risk it all everyday for our safety, and Officers Anthony Morelli and Eric Joering were those people. Their deaths are a terrible tragedy for my hometown of Westerville and all of Ohio. (1/2)

— John Kasich (@JohnKasich) February 10, 2018

I’ve spoken with Westerville’s city leaders and Chief Morbitzer and pledged whatever support they need from the highway patrol. We extend our prayers and deep condolences to their families and fellow officers. Let’s pledge ourselves to never forget their service. (2/2)

— John Kasich (@JohnKasich) February 10, 2018

President Donald Trump also offered his thoughts and prayers:

My thoughts and prayers are with the two police officers, their families, and everybody at the @WestervillePD. https://t.co/AoingY77Ky

Both victims are survived by their families, and Ohio Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #9 set up a GoFundMe to raise money for their support. The fundraiser quickly reached its $50,000 goal.

According to the Officer Down Memorial Page, Joering and Morelli are at least the 14th and 15th police officers killed in the line of duty in the United States in 2018. The figure for 2017 was 129 killed.
