Sutcliffe told Fox News that teachers in the United Kingdom are only allowed to have "one view" on gender and sexuality.

"And, obviously, if you don't conform to that, then, you know, look what happens," he said.

The UK government pressures dissenters on issues surrounding gender to stay silent, Sutcliffe said. "There's really just one view allowed, and it's certainly not a Christian view."

"For loving Jesus, speaking truth in his personal time, and responding to questions from students on the Christian faith, he has been hounded out of the teaching profession. Joshua will appeal, and we will stand with him for as long as it takes to get justice," she continued.
