The Equality Act, a discrimination-limiting law in the United Kingdom, has been cited as protecting the beliefs of those who oppose the Critical Race Theory ideologies.
CRT beliefs contend that all of society is racist, and the solution to that racism is more racism.
Now a report from the Christian Institute reveals that an Employment Tribunal has determined that the law protects those who believe people should be valued “by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.”
The dispute arose when employee Sean Corby went to court because his employer, Acas, ordered him to censor his comments on the online platform Yammer that were negative about the CRT agenda.
He suggested that “instead of encouraging division by branding white people racist, society should follow the example of Dr..Martin Luther King,” the report said.
The unanimous decision of the tribunal was that Corby’s beliefs are “worthy of respect in a democratic society” even if they “are not universally shared.”
In fact, the tribunal’s decision noted that there are some who “objected” to his beliefs.
The Christian Institute reported, “Citing the case of Maya Forstater, who lost her job for defending the reality of biological sex, the judges said it is only beliefs such as ‘pursuing totalitarianism, or advocating Nazism, or espousing violence and hatred in the gravest of forms’ that should be deemed ‘not worthy of respect in a democratic society.’”
Protected are beliefs even if they are offensive to some, the ruling said.
Corby explained, “Colleagues who’d never met me and knew nothing about me or my life targeted me and called me a racist. This caused me a great deal of distress.
“It is reprehensible of anyone to seek to divide us along lines of color or to try and bully anti-racists like me into silence. I’m delighted we have made a stand and taken a step to embedding in the workplace a more conciliatory and harmonious approach to dealing with issues around race,” he said.
The Institute noted that it recently launched a series of resources for church leaders to be educated on, and to confront, “dangers of Critical Theory (CT) – the lethal blend of postmodernism and Marxist ideology behind ‘woke activism’ and ‘cancel culture.’”
The Institute explained, on CRT, conference speaker Sharon James expresses that “racism is a sin and all people should be treated with equal dignity and respect as fellow image bearers of God. In contrast, advocates for Critical Theory claim treating people equally, whatever the color of their skin, is dangerous. They view ‘color blindness’ as racist.”
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
