Related: About this forumBYU-Idaho fires adjunct professor after LGBT Pride Month post on Facebook
Salt Lake City (KUTV) She is a life-long member of the LDS church with the needed ecclesiastical endorsement to hold a current temple recommend -- her faith's standard of being a believer in good standing.
Now she has taught her final class at BYU-Idaho in Rexburg, Idaho, after she declined to retract a Facebook statement supporting the LGBT community. She was told by the school to retract her statement and when she refused, she lost her job.
Ruthie Robertson, an adjunct professor of political science -- one of the school's youngest, or perhaps the youngest -- taught that final class last week. She told 2News, she was allowed to finish out her summer course, but her contracted classes for fall and winter semesters have been cancelled.

Except if you are a Mormon or any other backwards religion (take your pick). Not much based on Christ's teachings these days.

..."Who Would Jesus Fire?"
PEACE!
