This is a story from protestia .com. The headline reads, Texas Christian school teachers baffled after getting fired for attending drag show.

00:10

The article says two teachers were fired from a Christian school in Baytown, Texas after going to a drag queen performance and posting images and videos on Facebook about the event.

00:21

The Blaze reported that two teachers were both fired from First Baptist Academy because they violated the school's operating policies manual.

00:30

Christy Maris reportedly went to an establishment in Houston, Texas called Hamburger Mary's, which frequently hosts events featuring men dressed as women.

00:40

Their website boasts events such as the Satter Gay brunch hosted by Lady Shamu.

00:47

And that's Satter Gay with a S -A -T -U -R -G -A -Y. So Satter Gay brunch.

00:53

This is the type of thing this Christian school teacher is going to, and then she gets fired.

01:00

And in the article, it says she just doesn't understand. She cannot comprehend why attending a drag show is not seen as godly or moral.

01:10

Let's listen to what she has to say. Maris was fired.

01:23

Her coworker was too. And according to the school senior pastor, it's all because of this line in the school operating policies manual.

01:33

I will act in a godly and moral fashion at work on Facebook and in my community.

01:39

Maris had agreed to the clause, but didn't realize she was breaking it by going to a drag show.

01:46

They're entertainers. No, I would have never thought in a million years that this would have happened.

01:54

Never. I mean, we were in disbelief. I mean, we still are. So hold on a second.

02:00

She never thought this would happen. She doesn't understand why the school objected to this.

02:08

So she teaches at a traditional Christian school that is operated by a Baptist church.

02:13

And she didn't know that attending drag queen shows where they celebrate LGBTQ and posting about it all over social media, how great it was.

02:23

She didn't realize this might be a problem. Really? Let's watch some more because of course the news media totally supports her.

02:31

Maris was a physical education teacher. So dedicated to her job that she had gone back to school several years ago for an extra certification.

02:41

She's also a devout Christian, a devout Christian, according to the news reporter who thinks

02:48

LGBTQ is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Uh, you just have to ask devout by what standard or whose standard on what basis is she devout?

02:58

Because typically devout Christians don't get kicked out of churches and Christian schools, but you're going to see the real problem in just a moment because let's just say for a moment, let's give her the benefit of every doubt that she really somehow didn't understand that this was a problem.

03:14

She didn't understand this was wrong, but then the school reaches out to her. The pastor reaches out.

03:20

And of course we could quote verses from Deuteronomy 22 five, for example, which says a woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment for all who do so are an abomination to the

03:35

Lord your God. And listen, that's not my opinion. That's what the Bible says. And for those who are thinking, well, that's just the old

03:42

Testament that doesn't count. Well, it counts because if you read the gospels,

03:47

Jesus affirms that the words of Moses are the very words of God. But listen to what she says next.

03:54

Maris is done teaching for now, but says she's not done having a blast.

04:01

Yeah, I'll do it.

04:07

Okay. So there it is. Let's say you did give her the benefit of every doubt. She didn't know it was a problem.

04:13

Well, now she does after being admonished by the pastor and by the school notice, she remains unrepentant.

04:20

She laughs about it. And she says on live television to the whole world that she's going to do it again.

04:27

You know, maybe if she recognized this behavior was not consistent with the Bible, maybe the school would have given her another chance because Christians do like to forgive, but in order to forgive and restore someone, there has to be some acknowledgement that what they did was wrong and then they need to work to fix it.

04:45

So in conclusion, pray for this woman, pray for everyone involved, but this truly is a sign of the times.
