The west is dying slowly. Farewell freedom.

The teachers said they were disturbed by Kempling's statements that homosexual relationships are unstable, 'gay' sex poses health risks and many religions consider homosexuality immoral.

Each point is true. I guess that's what disturbed the teachers. They can't handle the truth!

[RLK]

One Kempling letter cited by the panel said: "Gay people are seriously at risk, not because of heterosexual attitudes but because of their sexual behaviour, and I challenge the gay community to show some real evidence that they are trying to protect their own community members by making attempts to promote monogamous, long-lasting relationships to combat sexual addictions."

Sheer madness...

Is Canada the canary in the coal mine for America circa 2010?

[expatpat]

Free speech is obviously dead in Canada, rather ill here in the US. Wahtever happened to "I despise what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it!"

HOW dare you hold an opinion!!

When I was living in Vancouver, BC, about 1998....I was listening to someone on the radio tell a story of a teacher in BC somewhere.....who explained "fudge line" to his students....and when they expressed disgust, said "how do you know until you've tried it" or something similar....and, if I'm not mistaken, the teacher WAS NOT PENALIZED in any way.

Be careful talking to anyone from Canada (even by phone)....they take their PC VERY seriously - because I even had a Canadian Airline employee suggest I was "harassing" her, when I got angry because she was doing a lousy job with my air reservation. (I'm a girl, btw.)

What if we spell it "Geigh"? Can we talk about the risks of "Geigh" sex?

This just proves to me that the homosexual community and their supporters are terrified of the truth and will do anything to shut up those who speak it.

I truly believe this hyper-sensitivity comes from the fact that deep down inside, they know there is something very wrong with homosexuality and worse yet sense the dead end future it promises for them.

These people are scared to death of what they fear is really the truth after all..that homosexuality is a sin and God condemns it.

Otherwise the community that demands tolerance, wouldn't be so intolerant of anybody who expresses this belief. They are pathetic.

Judicial denial of freedom of speech and religion is likely to be found here as well, although hopefully our tradition of stronger free speech protections here will keep most judges from this type of tyranny. This guy is appealing, so hopefully it will be reveresed.

[VOA]

Kempling appealed to the B.C. Supreme Court on the grounds that the decision
violates Canadian Charter of Rights protections of freedom of expression and religion.

well, here's what happens when your rights are granted by the state/Crown...
not by a true higher power.

Homosexual Agenda Ping Alert.

If anyone thinks this is not coming to a theater near you, you are living in a fantasy world.

If anyone wants on or off this ping list, pingify me.

Thanks, scripter ;-)

Why don't they just yell "Achtung!" and load this teacher into a boxcar?

[jimt]

The teachers said they were disturbed by Kempling's statements that homosexual relationships are unstable, 'gay' sex poses health risks and many religions consider homosexuality immoral.

These aren't just opinions, they're facts.

It's ridiculous this man is being pilloried for stating facts that the "teachers" are unwilling to face. Apparently the earth is flat and the sun revolves around the earth.

[headsonpikes]

In Beautiful British Columbia, they shuffle child-molesting teachers off to another district, but have an un-PC opinion, and you're busted!

The fruit of socialism is death.
