Josh Alexander: Teen Arrested for Saying There Are Only Two Genders

Rebecca Terrell

Canadian high-schooler Josh Alexander has never been a rebellious teen. But he’s been suspended from school several times and arrested twice, simply because he defends Christian principles and believes that “God created man in His own image … male and female He created them.”

Unfortunately, Biblical authority espoused in the Book of Genesis doesn’t carry much weight in these days of gender dysphoria, not even in the halls of Saint Joseph Catholic School in Renfrew, Ontario. When Josh defended female classmates against the school’s so-called transgender bathroom policy late last year, school officials first suspended him and then placed onerous conditions on his return. Finally, on February 6, they called the cops. Officers with the Ontario Provincial Police arrested Josh on a charge of trespassing at his own school. 

They suspended him for the rest of his junior year, and he has no idea what next year holds. In the meantime, he has become a celebrity in conservative and Christian circles, appearing in countless interviews including a short spot on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight (prior to Carlson’s ousting). But he was able to fill in ample details during a recent appearance on David Freiheit’s Viva Frei podcast.
