CALGARY, April 25, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Canada Family Action Coalition (CFAC) has exposed the hypocrisy of the British Columbia College of Teachers (BCCT) in their action against a Christian teacher who objected to the pro-homosexual agenda being fostered in the classroom. "The Code of conduct espoused by the BC College of Teachers apparently does not apply to the College elite, but only to the teachers over whom they 'rule'", says a CFAC release.
BCCT Registrar Doug Smart has made critical comments to the media about teacher Chris Kempling, because Kempling expressed his views in letters to the editor. Smart said, "... the College intended to send a message to him (Kempling), to other teachers and to society at large that is not okay to be intolerant of homosexuality."
Brian Rushfeldt, Executive Director of CFAC said, "The College of Teachers has appointed itself judge and jury of society, telling us what we should think about homosexuality and sodomy. Smart uses the term 'homophobic' - a derogatory and intolerant term used to silence anyone who disagrees with homosexual behaviour. Why would a code of conduct for public discourse apply to Chris Kempling in his local newspaper but not to the 'College' dictators in public interviews with provincial and national media?"
"It seems that the BC College of Teachers is advancing an agenda, wielding their powers unethically and perhaps illegally in persecuting someone whom they deem "politically incorrect." Rushfeldt says , "If citizens who happen to be teachers by profession are not permitted to publicly express their beliefs or opinions about a subject, how is it that the College echelon can express theirs? This is hypocritical and intolerant."
