A school chaplain who gave a sermon to pupils telling them it’s okay to question the progressive sexuality agenda has won a double vindication.

Revd Dr Bernard Randall was sacked by the Church of England school and Trent College, and also blacklisted by the Church of England as a safeguarding risk.

In addition, he was also referred to the government’s counter-terrorism project, Prevent, without his knowledge, even though his preaching was in line with church doctrine.

‘Bernard’s case exposes how easily safeguarding processes, equality policies and extreme transgender ideology can be misused to silence Christian beliefs.
