In his video statement, McKeen says students at Grace “shouldn’t be sexual at all” because “they’re young people” and “God condemns any sexual activity outside of marriage.”
The June email was a reminder, he says, that although American society celebrates and encourages gay and transgender identities, “it is condemned by God. And at this school we’re gonna follow God instead of man.” McKeen adds, “Maybe God has picked us for this particular time to just encourage [like-minded people] that, ‘Hey, there are things worth standing up for, and we’re going to do that.’”
