They are not done harassing Canadian teacher Chris Kempling.Cited by the College of Teachers for professional misconduct back in 2003 for writing to a local newspaper outlining Christian teachings on homosexuality, his teaching license was suspended for a month. Dr. Kempling (photo at left) fought this outrageous injustice but the Canadian courts are so smitten with the idea of homosexual special privileges that he lost his appeal...even at the Canadian Supreme Court.
And yet the College of Teachers witch hunt is not over.
Kempling is now facing a new citation from the College; one that might end in a permanent loss of his teaching license.
...Kempling told supporters that he received a letter informing him that he is being cited on numerous counts for conduct "unbecoming" of a teacher. One of the counts on which he has been cited, he says, is simply for being a candidate for the federal political party, the Christian Heritage Party.
"They have cited me for participating in a CBC radio interview where I quoted the Bible saying that homosexual behaviour is a barrier to salvation," he wrote, "for contributing an essay discussing the philosophical differences between social liberals and social conservatives (published in the Calgary Herald on December 29, 2003), for publishing a scholarly article in a German family journal on the topic of homosexuality, for offering orientation change therapy as part of my private counselling practice and mentioning this in a radio interview, and, incredibly, for 'knowing' that an article written by Christian Heritage Party leader Ron Gray in support of me was posted on the party's website."
"They also cited me for being 'the local representative of the Christian Heritage Party.' This is certainly true as I was the candidate for the CHP, Canada's sixth largest registered political party, in the last federal election in the Cariboo-Prince George riding (I came 5th out of 8 candidates.)"
"I'm dismayed," Kempling told LifeSiteNews today. "I'm dismayed that activities entirely outside of the scope of my job and which have engendered no reaction or complaint would result in an additional citation…I'm dismayed that their reach is extending so far into my private life, and overriding the very clear provisions in the Charter for political freedom and for freedom of speech."
Here's LifeSiteNews with the story.
