A teacher who claims she was sacked over her Christian beliefs regarding teaching LGBT-related issues to young children is going to the Royal Courts of Justice in a case that could be “profoundly important for free speech and Christian freedom” in the UK.

Kristie Higgs, 47, has also highlighted the emotional torment caused by the saga dragging on for five years and said she “wouldn’t want any parent to go through” what she has had to undergo as a result of speaking her mind based on her conscience on a social media platform.
