Science under scrutiny! Professor in Texas institute fired for teaching 'human biology’ about chromosomes fights back

In a shocking turn of events, a college professor is fighting back after being fired for teaching fundamental principles of human biology. Dr. Johnson Varkey, a former adjunct professor at St. Philip's College in San Antonio, Texas, was terminated by university leaders who allegedly deemed his teachings too "religious." However, a conservative legal firm, First Liberty Institute, has come to Varkey's defense, arguing that his views on science and gender are widely accepted biology and protected by constitutional rights. Keisha Russell, counsel for First Liberty Institute, sent a letter to St. Philip's College, stating that the termination was illegal and improper. The letter sent to St. Philip's College accuses the institution of violating several constitutional and statutory provisions, including the Free Speech Clause, Free Exercise Clause, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Texas Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
