Oak Hills Christian College faced criticism after its men’s basketball team suffered a significant defeat against North Dakota State.
Fans highlighted the school’s stance on LGBT issues and expressed negative sentiments towards the institution.
The college has a clear position on human sexuality and gender identity, emphasizing traditional views on marriage and sexual relations. (Trending: Here Are The Most Disturbing Ways Hunter Biden Spent His Millions)
Boardroom’s Russell Steinberg wrote, “Here’s the thing: Oak Hills Christian is a homophobic institution that was granted a Title IX exemption to be allowed to discriminate against homosexual students.”
“I wish they lost by more,” he continued.
“Should’ve run the score up worse tbh,” added a fan.
“i almost felt bad until i looked up the school,” commented a third.
“We uphold the sanctity of marriage as God-ordained, a special union between a biological man and a biological woman, within which sexual relations are honored and affirmed by God,” wrote Oak Hills Christian College in a statement.
“We have the conviction that all sexual unions outside of marriage as thus defined are sinful,” the statement continued.
“In dealing with sexual sins outside of marriage, we must be attentive to Scripture and therefore consistent in applying Oak Hills’ community policies to both heterosexual and homosexual situations.”
“We affirm that God’s original and ongoing intent and action is the creation of humanity manifest as two distinct sexes, male and female,” declared the school.
“However, due to sin and human brokenness, our experience of our sex and gender is not always that which God the Creator originally designed. We further affirm God’s capacity to heal and transform our brokenness. With this foundational understanding of creation, sin and redemption, we do not affirm the resolution of tension between one’s biological sex and one’s experience of gender by the adoption of a psychological identity discordant with one’s birth sex,” explained the administrators.
“Nor do we affirm attempts to change one’s given biological birth sex via medical intervention in favor of the identity of the opposite sex or of an indeterminate identity,” they added.
“Our obligation before God is to love all persons, understanding such love in the context of the truth of God’s Word. In that light, we will demonstrate civility and compassion as we engage in dialogue with others on these issues seeking to embody the gentle and patient love of Christ. ‘We believe that all human beings are made in the image of God and, therefore, have dignity and worth’ (OHCC Statement of Faith) even though we may disagree with some and even though some may come under discipline for violating Oak Hills’ community standards for biblical living,” wrote the school’s administration.
The school’s policy influences institutional decisions related to student admission, retention, housing, and employment.
Oak Hills Christian College’s administration vowed to “make institutional decisions in light of this policy regarding student admission and retention, housing, employment hiring and retention and other related matters.”
