A Christian chaplain at Trent College was fired and reported to the British government’s anti-terrorism programme for delivering a sermon in which he told pupils that it is acceptable to question and disagree with far-left LGBT ideology being taught at the school.
Trent College, which claims to have a “Christian ethos”, invited the educational charity Educate and Celebrate to their campus in 2018, in order to make their school more LGBT-friendly.
Educate and Celebrate declared that their mission was to “embed gender, gender identity and sexual orientation into the fabric of your school”.
The head of the charity, Dr Elly Barnes, has openly stated that the purpose of Educate and Celebrate is to “completely smash heteronormativity, that’s what we want to do.”

The school later flagged Dr Randall to the Prevent programme which identifies those at risk of radicalisation - but police found he posed “no counter-terrorism risk”, the Mail on Sunday reports.
The Reverend Dr Bernard Randall delivered a sermon defending the right of pupils at independent Trent College near Nottingham to question the school s introduction of new LGBT policies.
THE REVEREND DR BERNARD RANDALL: I want to say to everyone, but especially to those who have been troubled, that you are not obliged to accept someone else s ideology.
Dr Bernard Randall recalls that as others chanted he remained silent, deeply troubled by what he felt was the revolutionary Marxist flavour of the language and the sentiments expressed.
