Christian professor who won settlement over trans pronouns says ‘we cannot give in’ to gender ideology by Matt Lamb for Life Site New

‘The Psalms — even the book of Revelation — teaches very, very clearly we must resist in a kind way, a humble way, a reasonable way,’ Dr. Nicholas Meriwether said.

A tenured evangelical Christian professor who recently won a $400K lawsuit with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) over forced pronoun usage said that Christians should not yield to gender ideology.

“We cannot give in,” Professor Nicholas Meriwether told CBN News. “Scriptures were extremely helpful, the Psalms — even the book of Revelation — teaches very, very clearly we must resist in a kind way, a humble way, a reasonable way,” Meriwether said, explaining how he endured through a multi-year battle with Shawnee State University in January 2018.

“I thought it was an egregious violation of free speech,” Meriwether said. “I would not stand for it. I simply would not go along with it.”
