VANCOUVER, April 16, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Chris Kempling, a Christian and a public school teacher who is under fire for writing letters to the editor of a newspaper in which he objected to the homosexual agenda being brought into classrooms, is facing a one month suspension without pay. The British Columbia College of Teachers, made the decision after considering a more severe penalty of five months without pay. The penalty is to commence May 1st.
Kempling, who, for writing the letters to the editor, was found guilty of "conduct unbecoming" a member of the College in May 2002, has appealed the finding to the BC Supreme Court. The case will begin in May.
In the letters to the editor Kempling objected to the use of Xtra West, a BC homosexual activist newspaper, which has obscene and vulgar classified ads, as a recommended classroom resource. Further, Kempling objected to the use of propaganda produced by the Gay and Lesbian Educators of BC, published and distributed by the BC Teachers Federation. One such item, Counselling Lesbian and Gay Youth, stated "we must dishonour the attitude that heterosexuality is the only acceptable orientation."
Interestingly, Kempling points out that he is being given one month suspension without pay for his letter whereas College disciplinary records indicate other teachers have been issued reprimands (no suspensions) for criminal behaviour such as assault, theft, uttering threats, and flashing.
