The administrator of a Florida Christian school is defending its long-standing human-sexuality policy, which prohibits gay and transgender students as well as any type of premarital sexual activity. In a video statement last week, Barry McKeen, a pastor who oversees Grace Christian School in Valrico, Florida, responded to an NBC News article about the policy.
McKeen confirms that much of the article is true. He says he didn’t speak to that reporter because it was “clear from the get-go that this person is against us and not for us.” Since then, the administrator spoke to Fox News, explaining that the school is simply following God’s commands in Scripture.
