Teacher Chris Kempling Appeals to Canada’s Supreme Court
School board vendetta extended to censoring Kempling’s appearance before parliament

QUESNEL, BC, September 30, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Beleaguered BC high school teacher Chris Kempling has appealed his case to the Supreme Court of Canada. This follows after a federal appeals court upheld a lower court ruling in June, saying his suspension by the school board for private comments against homosexuality published in a local newspaper justified his suspension from his duties as a teacher.

In 2001, while off duty, Kempling defended the traditional Christian understanding of the social, physical, and moral problems with homosexual behaviour in a local newspaper. Kempling was subsequently cited for professional misconduct by the College of Teachers after a panel determined that his writings were discriminatory against homosexuals. He was disciplined with a temporary suspension of his license.
