BC Teacher persecuted for opposition to homosexual agenda refuses to be marginalized as 2nd class citizen
LifeSiteNews.com posts this article by Chris Kempling, titled “Conduct Unbecoming a Free Society: Persecuted Christian Teach Chris Kempling in his own words.” Chris writes:
. . . The British Columbia College of Teachers won a court decision against me in 2006 for “conduct unbecoming a member.” The reason: Between 1997 and 2000, I wrote several letters to newspapers, outlining research data related to homosexual behaviour, and what position major world religions take on the matter. There was a vigorous exchange of views on the editorial pages of my local newspaper, the Quesnel Cariboo Observer. I had thought that was the place where people are free to debate the issues of the day . . .
I refuse to be marginalized as a second-class citizen, simply because I publicly state social conservative opinions or represent a “fringe” political party. And I don’t think publicly espousing the Christian worldview should be prohibited for public school teachers. If I don’t have free speech, or freedom of political association, then no Canadian does.
