Firings at Christian University Over Pronoun Usage in Emails
Two former dorm directors at a small Christian university in western New York were fired for refusing to remove gender identity pronouns from their work email signatures in line with a new policy for email formats implemented in September. The recent firings prompted more than 700 Houghton alumni to sign a petition in protest. Ongoing culture wars in the U.S. over sexuality, gender identity and transgender rights have engulfed politics, school campuses and many other facets of public and private life.
