A judge says a discrimination complaint filed by a transgender teacher who was fired from a Catholic school district for religious reasons should be heard by an Alberta human rights tribunal.
Jan Buterman was removed from the Greater St. Albert School Division's teacher list in 2008 because his sex change was not in line with Catholic values.
In 2011, Buterman turned down a $78,000 cash settlement offer from the publicly funded school district because it would have required him to keep quiet and drop his human rights complaint.
He said he was fired in 2008 despite receiving a letter from the district praising his teaching abilities.
According to the facts listed in Greckol's ruling, a board official wrote Buterman another letter when the district learned he was changing from a woman to a man.
"The teaching of the Catholic Church is that persons cannot change their gender," read the letter the deputy superintendent Steve Bayus wrote after conferring with the Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton.
"One's gender is considered what God created us to be."
The letter went on to say that the school division was bound by the teachings of the church and that it intentionally hired teachers who were models of those teachings.
Bayus wrote that Buterman's sex change was not aligned with the teachings of the church and would create confusion with students and parents.

For the naysayers, lets look at DNA.
If a man dons a dress, wears lipstick and has his appendage cut off in an effort to become a woman and then commits a crime, leaving DNA, will the police look for a man or a woman?
THAT is what you are. Period.

Ok.
This dude wants to be a women? Then the only legal way to do it is to have your junk cut off FIRST.
If this is about more than some perv sex fantasy about dressing up like a girl, then they will be more than happy to do it.
Apparently only the Catholic Church has standing to fight the battle to keep people with personality disorders away from the children. It is all in the constant drumbeat of ‘I am in your face and you had better accept me this way or I will sue’. They don’t seem to care about the confusion they are causing to those children who are developing normally. And the American Psychiatric Association did these people no favors by reclassifying these types of personalities as ‘variations on normal’.
"If you like what sex you are, you can keep it...or not. Period"

Shake your head so more more, in the same province a few years back a red deer pastor talked about the sin of homosexuality in church and someone complained. The premier sent his prosecutor as well, he was fined 10k and told he can’t talk about that anymore.
It’s not just the US that needs brave men to stand up and take back freedom.
MasterYoda! I expect this kinda thing from Joe but you too?? Tee hee tee hee!!
Yea I know it should go before a war crimes tribunal.
Facts don’t matter to the liberals.
Instead, we have to bend over backwards to cater to the LGBT peoples.
We live in a politically correct world now.
What is a trans whatever person doing teaching in a Catholic school in the first place???
This is what we get in a modern world, in which we are supposed to be non-judgemental of everyone and everything.
Or, I should say non-judgemental according to liberals. Liberals are very judgemental about perceived racism, homophobia, etc. But the liberals are the ones who decide what the criteria for judgements are.
Only CRAZY people think there is such a term as “Gender”.
This is Canada. I would be surprised if the school won.
From the article, it sounds like this is an “addadicktome” operation.
