- Felix Ngole, 38, expelled from Sheffield University after Facebook message
- Postgraduate father of four had been studying to become a social worker
- Set to appeal because of consequences for the ‘freedom of expression’
A Christian student has been ejected from his university course for voicing his opposition to gay marriage on Facebook.
Felix Ngole, 38, was expelled from Sheffield University after faculty staff decided he ‘may have caused offence to some individuals’.
The postgraduate father of four, who was studying to become a social worker, has been told his actions affect his fitness to practice and was ordered to hand back his student ID and library card.
Mr Ngole was reported after using his private Facebook account to express support for Kim Davis, a county clerk from Kentucky, who was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licences after the introduction of same-sex unions there last September.

Shame on Sheffield University.I hope this young man is re-instated. What were they doing checking out his FB page. This would put me off recommending Sheffield Uni ito anyone. I work in Education and you would never get away with this in N. Ireland. Keep strong and may The Lord bless you for taking your stand.
Wow!
