A private Christian school in Florida is not backing down from a long-held policy that students not partake in sexual behavior outside of marriage despite alleged death threats against school leaders and accusations that the school is targeting gay and transgender students.

“If I backed down from something like this, I’m abandoning what God has said is the truth. I …. kind of rack my brain to like, ‘How is this hard for people to understand? This is what God said.’ This is one of the many reasons we have a Christian school, and we’re not going to abandon this policy. God has spoken on these issues,” Grace Christian School Administrator Barry McKeen told Fox News Digital in a phone interview Sunday.

The interview followed national news coverage of an email McKeen sent to the school community earlier this summer highlighting that students will only be identified by their “biological sex” and said that students who are found “participating” in gay or transgender lifestyles will be asked to “leave the school immediately.”

“We believe that God created mankind in His image: male (man) and female (woman), sexually different but with equal dignity,” the email McKeen sent to the school community in June reads, according to NBC News.
