(4th) 88 and only a lawyer can properly present the issues to the VSB. ******* It is my position that I�m entitled to adequate legal representation. I understand that I�m entitled to be represented by Jim Gill at this meeting. However, with all due respect, Jim is not a lawyer, and accordingly my charter rights may not get their full consideration if I do not have the option of proceeding with legal representation. ******* It is my opinion the Charter is possibly engaged, as the disciplinary issues may touch on Charter and non-Charter constitutional rights (freedom of speech, religion, conscience, etc.) ******* When constitutional rights are at stake any defendant is always entitled to: 1. due process, 2. a fair and independent tribunal, 3. legal representation of his own choice, 4. disclosure of all documents and evidence against his interest, and, 5. full answer and defense. ******* I therefore request an adjournment of this meeting until I�ve had sufficient opportunity to arrange for appropriate legal representation. I further request that this statement be filed with the notes/minutes of today�s meeting. ******* (signature) ******* Frank Wagner ******* Jim and I talked. Among other things he said �This is labour law and you won�t win." ******* I reiterated my request for an adjournment. ******* Jacquie Griffiths said: Picher et al outlines the process which is to be followed. Mr. Gill is your representative. The Board won�t allow outside lawyers. On these issues we�re appointed by the Union (I think she meant by the board) to be the representatives. I don�t want to adjourn unless Jim requests it. ******* Jim Gill said: I�m not requesting it. ******* I then gave part 2 (the following) to Eric Thomas and an unsigned copy to Jim Gill. ******* article 8.F.7 of the Collective Agreement ******* further comments by Frank Wagner for 01-10-30 meeting ******* Comment 1 ******* In my opinion every school board employee should be willing to take personal responsibility for every order that he gives to a subordinate. It is also my opinion that to ensure responsibility the subordinate has the right and at times the duty to make the order(s) in question a matter of public record. ******* Comment 2 ******* St. James says, �He who can do good and does not do it does evil.� ******* My first duty is to God. My second duty is to the Canadian Constitution which recognizes the Supremacy of God. My third duty is to the laws which are in conformity with my duty to God and to the Canadian Constitution. If I see my superiors, colleagues or students put at risk of spiritual or physical death or injury I see it as my duty to make them aware of that risk. ******* I request that this statement be filed with the notes/minutes of today�s meeting. ******* (signature) ******* Frank Wagner **************************************************************************************************************** ******* item 2 A COVER LETTER FROM FRED CUMMINGS, VANCOUVER SCHOOL BOARD LABOUR RELATIONS OFFICER, TO DOUG SMART, REGISTRAR OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA COLLEGE OF TEACHERS Vancouver School Board School District No. 39 (Vancouver) HUMAN RESOURCES 1580 West Broadway Vancouver, B.C.

F of the collective agreement. These meetings were also attended by Jan Wilson, Principal, David Thompson Secondary, Jacquie Griffiths, Manager � Labour Relations and Jim Gill, President, VSTA. ******* As a result of your acknowledgments in our meetings with you and our investigation, it is clear that you distributed material deemed inappropriate by the VSB and contrary to its policies. In particular, you distributed an article entitled �The Medical Consequences of Homosexual Behaviour� to some of the staff at your school. At our meetings you indicated that you were not aware that the Board considered the distribution of such material in the workplace inappropriate. Nonetheless, you showed no remorse and offered no apology for your actions. ******* In addition, you provided the Board with no information or explanation for the testimonial letters that had been sent to the Board, on your behalf, in which it was clear that you had discussed a potential matter of discipline contrary to the expectations clearly outlined in Article 8.F.7 of the collective agreement. Once again, you showed no remorse and offered no apology for your actions. In fact, you indicated that you were not sure that you agreed with expectations regarding confidentiality outlined in the collective agreement and were unwilling to provide assurances that you would not discuss such matters with individuals from the public in the future. At our meeting on 2001 November 27, Ms. Griffiths explained that if you do not agree with a policy or directive of the Board then the appropriate course of action is to pursue the issue through your union rather but to adhere to the policy or directive until the issue is addressed. Mr. Gill further explained that, from the union�s perspective, this is a labour relations principle known as �work now, grieve later�. Page 1 of 2 ******* The Board considers your actions in both these circumstances to be entirely inappropriate. As we explained at our meetings, the article you distributed entitled �The Medical Consequences of Homosexual Behaviour� is not appropriate for distribution in the workplace under any circumstances. The distribution of such material is contrary to the Board�s expectation that the work environment is one in which all employees are free from harassment or sexual harassment as contemplated by both Article 7.K.1(a) of the collective agreement. It was also inappropriate to have discussed your discipline issues with individuals from the public prior to the completion of arbitration. ******* This is a letter of discipline. It will be placed in you District Personnel File in accordance with the terms of the collective agreement. Similar conduct by you in the future may result in further disciplinary action by the Board up to and including termination of your employment. ******* Sincerely, ******* (signature) ******* Eric Thomas Associate Superintendent � Fraserview ******* ET/sy ******* cc.

I guess you may have given me a copy of his letter, but I hadn't read it fully or realized its implications. They are staggering. ******* Ted ******************************************************************************************************************* ******* item 5 A LETTER DATED (02-05-01) AND VOLUNTARY CONSENT STATEMENT FROM SHIRLEY R.

I mentioned to him that I had asked him to ask the V.S.B. to send me the minutes of the discipline meetings we had attended. He said he had requested them and had sent me a copy of the request letter. I replied that I had not received such a letter from him and that if I had received it I would not have forgotten that I had received it. He said he would check into this and let me know. As of this date, 02-12-28 I have not heard from him. ******* 03-01-08 + or - a day I received some minutes of some of the meetings I attended. *************************************************************************************************************************** ******* item 10 LETTER FROM FRANK WAGNER TO MARIE KERCHUM Feb. 25, 2003 ******* from Frank Wagner, 6300 Holly Park Drive, Delta BC V4K 4S2 ******* to Marie L. Kerchum, Deputy Registrar, BC College of Teachers, 405-1385 West 8th Ave., Vancouver BC V6H 3V9 ******* Dear Ms. Kerchum ******* I am in receipt of your 03-01-27 letter and accompanying documentation. Some of the information therein is redundant, but there are important pieces missing that ought to have been included, notably a list of errors and omissions in the minutes of one of the disciplinary meetings. ******* Initially I had great difficulty accessing the minutes, of this particular meeting in spite of the fact that I was led to believe by Jacquie Griffiths of Human Resources, Vancouver School Board, that I would be provided with the minutes of meetings. Ms. Griffiths never did send me copies of the minutes of the other disciplinary meetings. ******* My repeated requests for meeting minutes to Mr. Eric Thomas, Associate Superintendent, Fraserview were ignored. Finally I wrote a letter to Mr. Donald Goodridge, Superintendent of the Vancouver School District requesting the minutes of the meetings I had attended. He informed me that the request for such minutes would have to come from Mr. Jim Gill, President of the Vancouver Secondary Teachers� Association. I contacted Mr. Gill who then made the request. I received the minutes of only one of the meetings about a year after that meeting had taken place. I noted some errors and omissions in these minutes and reported them at a later meeting. A copy of these errors and omissions should have been included in the material you sent me, but it was not. I would like to know where the missing documentation has been filed and have it forwarded to me asap. ******* Mrs. Wilson, my principal, had sent a letter to Mr. Thomas falsely alleging that I had given three boys, who were regularly scheduled to be in my class, and who on one particular day were supposed to be in the library for a presentation by a group called �Condomania�, permission to go to the washroom instead of going to �Condomania�. I sent Mrs. Wilson a note requesting further information on this matter but she did not respond to me. I also sent Mr. Thomas a letter in response apprising him of some of the relevant facts in this matter. Mrs. Wilson�s statement concerning this incident is included in the material sent to me by the College. A copy of my letter to Mr. Thomas is not included with the other material, although it certainly ought to have been. ******* The apparent determination of Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Wilson to be in control of the information/misinformation regarding allegations concerning me and their apparent unwillingness to share that information and misinformation with me begs the question: Why are they doing this? I would certainly like to know. If you have some further questions or need any clarification on any of the above, I would be more than happy to provide it. ******* Yours truly, Frank Wagner ***************************************************************************************************************** ******* item 11 E-MAIL FROM WALTER SZETELA ******* Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2003 ******* About the letter you wrote with reference to your own major problem. I think you did an excellent job, especially by not retreating from their false and misleading condemnations of your actions which were not at all inappropriate in a country where freedom of speech supposedly is revered, yet sometimes suppressed in our politically correct society. Also their attempts to stifle knowledge about the dangers you cited about homosexual acts is not something we can accept. You are forthright in what you say. You have truth on your side in expressing your concern for others. ******* Your case is based on right as opposed to wrong, and we cannot allow narrow and harmful policies of any establishment to prevail. You are fighting the good fight with courage that too few people are willing to practice.

The letter complains about a LifeNews.com story regarding a pro-life organization that received internal documents written by the firm detailing its strategy to develop international pro-abortion laws that can be imposed and enforced throughout the world. The Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute (CFAM) announced earlier this month that an anonymous source sent it a copy of a 60-page document summarizing the conclusions of strategic planning meetings held by CRR in late October. In a story published by LifeNews.com, the documents were called a "smoking gun" belying the tactics pro-abortion groups have denied for years. The story prompted CRR President Nancy Northup to fire off a cease and desist letter to LifeNews.com asking the pro-life news outlet to return copies of the internal memos and to pull the story from the LifeNews.com web site. "[T]he Center demands that you immediately ... cease and desist from any further dissemination, by whatever means, including written, email, fax, oral, or electronic, of the CRR Confidential Documents, or any information derived from, or in any way based on, the CRR Confidential Documents," Northup's letter said.

If you examine the medical consequences of homosexual behavior, you must ask the question of why something that is considered by some to be an acceptable way of living would be associated with such devastating effects on health. A survey several years ago revealed that seventy-eight percent of homosexuals have been affected at least once by a sexually transmitted disease. Although the AIDS epidemic resulted in some decline in this risky behavior, there has been an upsurge again in the risky behavior characteristic of homosexuality. ******* Although the percentage of homosexuals in the United States is less than five percent, they are responsible for half of the nation's cases of syphilis and more than half of the cases of gonorrhea of the throat and of intestinal infections. Major outbreaks of amebiasis and hepatitis A infections in San Francisco and Minneapolis have been associated with diseased homosexual food handlers in public restaurants. There is a twenty to fifty fold greater rate of hepatitis B among male homosexuals and a much higher rate of hepatitis A; between one-half to three-fourths of homosexual men have had hepatitis B. If you look at rates of chronic or recurrent infections with herpes virus, CMV, and hepatitis B, you would find them in ninety percent of homosexually active men. ******* San Francisco passed "gay rights" laws and saw a rate of increase of twenty-two times over the national average of venereal disease over the first ten years. Over this same period, the rate of amoebic colon infections increased 25 times and the rate of hepatitis B increased 3 times. Clinics that treated venereal diseases in the city saw seventy-five thousand patients every year of which close to eighty percent were homosexual males and twenty percent of them carried rectal gonorrhea. There are also a group of rare bowel diseases usually limited to the tropics that are common in male homosexuals. In this country, AIDS has been transmitted primarily by homosexual sex. ******* If homosexual behavior was ever meant to be a normal part of human behavior, it would not be associated with such deleterious effects. The Bible could not be clearer in its condemnation of homosexual behavior. Just read Romans 1:24-28. Our society should not promote a behavior that results in such a danger to public health. ******* Source: Dr. Frank Joseph ([email protected]) ********************************************************************************************************************* ******* item 15 HOW NOT TO IMPOSE MY VIEWS ******* (from) Frank Wagner ******* 6300 Holly Park Drive Delta BC V4K 4S2 ******* (date) 03-04-15 ******* (to) Marie L. Kerchum, Deputy Registrar British Columbia College of Teachers ******* 405 - 1385 West Eighth Avenue Vancouver BC V6H 3V9 ******* Telephone 604 731 8170 ******* Facsimile 604-731-9142 ******* Web Site www.bcct.bc.ca ******* Dear Ms. Kerchum, ******* I am in receipt of your 03-03-10 letter in which, at the request of the Preliminary Investigation Sub-Committee, you ask me for my response in writing to the following question by 03-04-09, which date was then, at my request, extended to 03-04-16. ******* How might you express your personal views in a manner which does not "impose" these views on colleagues and students? Please explain fully. ******* In the question the Sub-Committee asked me, why is the word impose in quotation marks? Is it because some of the members of that committee believe that it is alright for a school to impose a nihilistic value system upon students, without parental consent, without debate amongst staff or students, without regard for the existing Judeo-Christian-Muslim-Hindu traditions already embraced by the majority of those students? And would it therefore be wrong for a staff member to raise a voice of caution, to hold fast when the "center cannot hold", to allow students to know that there are teachers that do not embrace the ideology being thrust upon them? Is this what "impose" means in their worldview? ******* I wonder also why there are so many discrepancies in the arguments, so many untruths, so many accusations made against me when I have simply tried to raise a hand of caution in this whirlwind of moral chaos. It is my belief that if this situation were made public, there would be a hue and cry from parents, province-wide, asking: What has happened to public education?! And they would come down resoundingly on my side, for wanting to warn their children, for wanting to caution their teachers, for wanting what is right for all. ******* The points I will address are the following: ******* 1) My principal, Mrs. Jan Wilson's letter to Associate Superintendent Mr. Eric Thomas, concerning the finding by a female teacher of 3 boys in a washroom. ******* 2) My letter to a colleague who was one of the staff members scheduled to supervise the 30 Hour Famine, a fund raising event, the proceeds of which go to World Vision. ******* 3) My letter to Mr. Don Goodridge, Superintendent, concerning the failure of Mr. Thomas to provide me with any of the minutes of the discipline meetings I had attended. ******* 4) An article titled Medical Consequences of Homosexual Behavior by Frank Joseph, M.D. ******* 1) Principal Mrs. Wilson�s letter to Mr. Eric Thomas, Associate Superintendent, Fraserview, concerning the finding by a female teacher of 3 boys in a washroom. ******* One of my grade nine Math classes was scheduled to go to the library to be supervised by their counselor, Mr. Rivest, in order to attend a presentation on contraception, including a demonstration of how to put on a condom, by a group called Condomania. ******* Prior to this event I had pointed out to the students that contraceptive style sex education has invariably been followed by increases in promiscuity, sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy and abortion. I gave the students the opportunity to read a report by Margaret White M.D. on the history of contraceptive style sex education in England. ******* A few days before my students went to see Condomania a female colleague asked me if I had given copies of a book on sex education to my students. She informed me that she would make the administration aware of this. After my students had gone to Condomania I received a copy of Mrs. Wilson�s letter to Mr. Thomas. There were a number of inaccuracies in Mrs. Wilson�s letter. Among them was the statement that 3 of the boys, who were to have gone from my class to the library for the presentation by Condomania, were from my class. In fact, according to a reliable source, 2 were from my class. Mrs. Wilson, who had not spoken to me about this matter, claimed that I had given the boys permission to be in the washroom. I had not. In fact I had asked two of the more reliable students to remind Mr. Rivest to take attendance. ******* In the material sent to me by the College it was stated that Mrs. Wilson had found three boys in the hall. This is inconsistent with what she had stated in the letter to Mr. Thomas and is also inconsistent with the facts of the matter. I wrote to Mr. Thomas and pointed out some of the errors in Mrs. Wilson�s letter. These errors have not been corrected and her letter, including the misinformation, has been forwarded to you. Indeed, more misinformation was added. ******* Since then a request for students to work for Condomania was made in the student bulletin. Contraceptive style sex education is still being taught at David Thompson Secondary School. Teachers and students are not sufficiently aware of the now well-documented dangers of this kind of miseducation. My efforts to bring an awareness of these dangers to the attention of staff and students were first ignored and then suppressed. Therefore, not mine but rather someone else's views regarding sex education are being imposed on staff and students. ******* 2) My letter to a colleague who was one of the staff members scheduled to supervise the 30 Hour Famine, a fund raising event, the proceeds of which go to World Vision. ******* A few years ago the student council at David Thompson Secondary School sponsored the 30 Hour Famine. After being informed that World Vision is involved in third world population control, including contraception and abortion, I made the student council president aware of this. I then received a letter from the president stating that the student council could not take a position on the matter of contraception. The letter did not sound as if the student council president had written it. I responded by letter stating that by raising funds for World Vision the student council was not only taking a position on contraception but was in fact promoting contraception, abortion and a host of other evils as well. I did not receive a response but the 30-hour famine went ahead as scheduled. Therefore, not my views but rather someone else�s views regarding the use of students to promote contraception and abortion in third world countries were being imposed. ******* In a subsequent year another 30 Hour Famine was scheduled to take place. In a letter to colleagues who were scheduled to supervise this event I pointed out that World Vision was involved in third world population control and that students were not being made aware of this. I also stated that in my opinion this was wrong. The 30 Hour Famine went ahead as scheduled. Mr. Thomas then called me to 2 discipline meetings. Therefore, someone else's, and not my views regarding the use of teachers to promote contraception and abortion in third world countries were being imposed. ******* 3) My letter to Mr. Donald Goodridge, Superintendent, concerning the failure of Mr. Thomas to provide me with any of the minutes of the discipline meetings I had attended. ******* After attending the two discipline meetings to which Mr. Thomas had called me, I received from him a letter threatening me with discipline if I persisted in "further inappropriate communication". During the first of the discipline meetings I took notes. Ms. Jackie Griffiths, Personnel Officer - Labour Relations, then led me to believe that at the next meeting accurate notes would be taken and would be given to me. I received no response to a number of requests to Mr. Thomas for the minutes of these meetings. Because of the threat of discipline and the failure to receive a response from Associate Superintendent, Mr. Thomas, I appealed to Mr. Goodridge who informed me that the request for the meeting minutes would have to be made by Mr. Gill, President of the Vancouver Secondary Teachers' Association. I asked Mr. Gill to make the request. He sent Ms. Griffiths a letter asking that the minutes of the meetings be sent to me. Finally, about a year after the meetings, Ms. Griffiths sent me the minutes of the second meeting. ******* I pointed out, in writing, to Mr. Thomas, a number of errors in the minutes. These errors remain uncorrected in the material you received from him. It is not my views which were being imposed. Someone else's views concerning truth, justice, fairness, accuracy, respect and common courtesy were being allowed to stand uncorrected and have been imposed on me. ******* 4)An article titled Medical Consequences of Homosexual Behavior by Frank Joseph, M.D. I gave personally addressed copies of this article, which summarizes the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases consequential to homosexual sex, to most of those involved in starting the Gay-Straight Alliance club at David Thompson Secondary School, and to a few other teachers. ******* Mr. Thomas called me to a discipline meeting (the third of five) during which Mrs. Wilson stated that one such copy was found in one of the staff photocopy rooms. I also gave one of my grade 11 classes the opportunity to read the article. Mr. Thomas then called me to another 2 discipline meetings. ******* At the beginning of the first of these three meetings, I was asked to leave so that Mr. Thomas and Mr. Gill could talk in private. Ms. Griffiths and / or Mrs. Wilson may have been included in that meeting. ******* Mr. Thomas took umbrage at the fact that along with my letter to Mr. Goodridge I had included 2 statements of support for me - one from a former Vancouver School Board school administrator and another from a professor emeritus of the University of British Columbia Faculty of Education. Mr. Thomas claimed that this contravened the Vancouver School Board � Vancouver Teachers� Association Collective Agreement because my case had not yet gone to arbitration. Now Mr. Thomas had seen these 2 statements at the end of the 2nd (of what would subsequently become 5) discipline meetings and had then sent me a letter in which he stated that he was not disciplining me for any actions, which were discussed during the first two meetings. ******* Prior to sending Mr. Thomas my letter, Mr. Gill had told me that discipline letters are not appealed. Since I wasn�t going to receive a discipline letter, and since the Vancouver Teachers' Association certainly wasn�t going to appeal Mr. Thomas' threat of possible discipline, the claim that I had contravened the Collective Agreement was moot, fatuous and void of any factual basis. Mr. Thomas stated that he would consult his lawyers. It was not my interpretation of the rules, but rather someone else�s which was being imposed. ******* At the start of the fourth meeting Labour Relations officer Ms. Griffiths stated that there was no one present to take notes and that she would go look for someone. I offered to tape record the meeting. Mr. Thomas said he was not allowing it. Ms. Griffiths returned and said she would take notes herself. She then attempted to portray my distribution of the article Medical Consequences of Homosexual Behavior as harassment and the article itself as appearing to be factual but perhaps not being so. She then not only asked me if I was sorry for what I had done but also if I was going to continue to communicate inappropriately. I cannot answer a question that implies conduct that I have not engaged in. At this point I must ask: Are Ms. Griffiths and others opposed to teachers becoming educated with relevant and progressive information that could provide fact based understanding to students?. I was then given about a week to �repent� and to convey my new position to the President of the Vancouver Teachers' Association, Mr. Gill. I did not �repent� but did give Mr. Gill a written statement, which he did not forward to Mr. Thomas. ******* At the start of the 5th meeting Ms. Griffiths stated that this meeting was called because I had not responded to the directive to reconsider my position and to make that position known to Mr. Gill. Mr. Gill and I then stated that I had responded. During the meeting the position of the Vancouver School Board., as understood by Ms. Griffiths, was reiterated. I affirmed mine. ******* Since then I received from Mr.Thomas a discipline letter in which he directed me to not, under any circumstances, give out at David Thompson Secondary School any more copies of Medical Consequences of Homosexual Behavior. He also threatened me with termination of employment if I failed to comply. This threat appears to try to �impose� on me limitations to my sharing of reputable information on the consequences of homosexual sex. I ask you, Ms. Kerchum, just who is �imposing� on whom? ******* The view, that teachers and students should not be made aware of the deadly consequences of homosexual sex, is being imposed. I do not share that view and I do not want to have any part in imposing that view. Silence gives consent. Mr. Gill stated that he would not act as silencer. I respectfully request that the BC College of Teachers refuse to allow itself to be cast into the role of secret inquisitor, intent on imposing the destructive ideologies and agendas of any self-interest groups. It is my hope and prayer that all of us who have a part in this disciplinary process will get our priorities right and maintain our integrity. ******* I have not imposed my views and I do not intend to start doing so now. It is my hope that all involved in this disciplinary process will do likewise. If the BC College of Teachers has different standards for different people I would ask that these standards be spelled out. I would also ask by what authority, norms of due process and natural justice, the BCCT is seeking to impose these standards. If on the other hand the BCCT submits to the Magna Carta and the Canadian Charter of Rights then I would ask that any and all allegations of "imposing my views" be dismissed forthwith. God permitting, I will do what is right and just. As for others involved in this, tuum est. ******* Yours truly, ******* (signature) ******* Frank Wagner ******* Copies to ******* Adrienne Montani, Chair, Vancouver School Board ******* Ian McKay, Principal, David Thompson Secondary School ******* Jim Gill, President, Vancouver Secondary Teachers� Association ********************************************************************************************************************* ******* item 16 LETTER FROM FRANK WAGNER TO PAUL SCHRATZ Oct. 12, 2003 ******* Dear Paul, ******* Ron Gray, the leader of Canada's Christian Heritage Party is quoted as saying "Speak now or forever wear your chains in silence." ******* These words were running through my mind and made me realize that this prophetic statement applies to me here and now. ******* I'm therefore stating publicly my opposition to bill C-250, Mr. Svend Robinson's "hate crime" bill, which was approved by Canada's Parliament and has now moved to the Senate for consideration. ******* This bill is not in the best interests of homosexuals or anyone else. It will not protect anyone but will silence those of us who want to extend a helping hand to the people addicted to homosexual sex. ******* Another effect of this bill, if it becomes law, will be to suppress the knowledge of the destructive consequences of homosexual sex. This suppression is already taking place, and indeed in an organized and systematic manner. I speak from personal experience. ******* I teach in a large secondary school which has a club called "gay-straight alliance". One morning, about two years ago I gave a colleague a personally addressed copy of an article called "Medical Consequences of Homosexual Behaviour". He inadvertently left it in a room where a secretary found it and took it to the principal, who, before noon on the same day, faxed it to the school board. ******* I was called to 3 discipline meetings, told that distributing such material was inappropriate and was directed to not, under any circumstances, distribute this article in the school at which I teach. Failure to comply would result in disciplinary action and possible termination of employment. I was asked to repent. I refused and was told that what mattered wasn't whether I was right or wrong but whether I did what I was told. ******* The school board then reported me to the BC College of Teachers (BCCT), which "investigating" my conduct, and then hired a National law firm, which has offices in Vancouver, Calgary and Yellowknife, to prosecute me for "conduct unbecoming a member". ******* My union, the BC Teachers' Federation, will pay less than half the regular fee of my lawyer, who agreed to represent me on the condition that I raise additional funds for the case and indicated that once the work, time and cost become prohibitive he would have to discontinue representing me. ******* In the mean time, teachers who support the "gay-straight alliance" club at my school use the student and teacher bulletins and the school's public address system, as well as numerous posters and rainbow stickers to promote a particular view of homosexuality. ******* On April 16 of this year Chris Kempling, a Quesnel BC teacher and counsellor, was found guilty by the BCCT of "conduct unbecoming a member" for drawing public attention to the misinformation which was being imparted to teachers and students. Did the BCCT thank him for pointing out the errors and correct them, as would have been pedagogically sound? No, the college attempted to suppress what he said and then suspended his teaching license. ******* The pressure to submit to the homosexual agenda is already very opressive. Bill C-250 would make it intolerable. ******* At this point I want to put this matter into historical context as seen from the point of view of relevant personal experience. I lived in National Socialist occupied Czechoslovakia and then, just before the end of World War II, in Germany. ******* Arnold Toynbee, the noted British historian said that after every war the victors acquire the values of the vanquished. Canada has certainly gone a long way in adopting the values of National Socialist Germany. ******* Please let me explain. ******* Among the significant steps in the rise to power of Germany's National Socialism were these: #### 1) the growth of a powerful women's "liberation" movement #### 2) a massive increase in abortions #### 3) the seizing of a disproportionate amount of power by homosexuals #### 4) the rise to power of a ruling elite #### 5) the extermination of 300 000 handicapped Germans #### 6) the extermination of 12 000 0000 people who failed to comply with the will of the ruling elite. ******* Canadians have completed steps 1, 2 and 3. ******* Step 4 has 4 parts parts: a) the dethronement of God b) the replacement of God by the individual will c) the rise of political correctness and d) the use of political correctness to replace the individual will by the will of the ruling elite. ******* Steps 5 and 6 are the logical consequence of steps 1 to 4 and, unless people repent, will result in the physical destruction of many of those who are deemed to be politically incorrect. ******* I therefore entreat all of us who do not wish to wear our chains in silence to speak up. For starters, please contact our senators and urge them to vote against Mr. Robinson's bill. ******* For God, Canada, life and justice, ******* Frank Wagner ******* P.S. The following is a copy of the article which got me reported to my school board and to the BC College of Teachers ******* MEDICAL CONSEQUENCES OF HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR ******* By: David Smith, M.D. ******* The homosexual activists would have you believe that homosexual behavior is just an alternate way of living that is both normal and natural. If you examine the medical consequences of homosexual behavior, you must ask the question of why something that is considered by some to be an acceptable way of living would be associated with such devastating effects on health.

Everyone who still appreciates our national heritage of freedom under law should ponder his latest book, aptly entitled, The Most Dangerous Branch: How the Supreme Court of Canada Has Undermined Our Law and our Democracy. ******* With this title, Martin ironically alludes to the assurance by Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers on June 14, 1778, that the people had nothing to fear from the powers conferred on the judiciary by the proposed Constitution of the United States. He wrote: "The judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution; because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them." ******* In offering this assurance, Hamilton said he assumed that judges would respect the separation of legislative, executive and judicial powers in the Constitution. He quoted the warning by the Baron de Montesquieu in L'Esprit des Lois: "There is no liberty, if the power of judging be not separated from the legislative and executive powers." ******* Likewise, Sir William Blackstone warned in his magisterial 1765 Commentaries on the Laws of England that liberty, "cannot subsist long in any state, unless the administration of common justice be in some degree separated both from the legislative and also from the executive power. Were it joined with the legislative, the life, liberty, and property, of the subject would be in the hands of arbitrary judges, whose decisions would be then regulated only by their own opinions, and not by any fundamental principles of law; which, though legislators may depart from, yet judges are bound to observe." ******* Martin contends there is no longer any separation of legislative, executive and judicial powers in Canada. "The Supreme Court of Canada now exercises all three sorts of power," he charges, "and, on the basis of Montesquieu's analysis, must be regarded as despotic." ******* Canadian judges used to feel bound to set aside their personal opinions for the purpose of upholding the law as defined by statutes and judicial precedents. This is no longer the case. Under the pretence of upholding the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, our arbitrary judges have become a law unto themselves. They do not shrink from unilaterally amending even the most basic laws such as the venerable legal rule that defined marriage as the voluntary union for life of one man and one woman. ******* "Every police constable is expected to act within the law and so are judges of the Supreme Court of Canada," Martin observes. "In practice, however, the judges behave as if they possess unlimited power and are not subject to any legal constraints. They amend the Constitution at will, rewriting it or inventing new principles, as if the Constitution were their private possession or plaything." ******* How has the Supreme Court of Canada gotten away with usurping legislative power? Part of the explanation is that most law professors do not object. Martin is one of only a few dissenters. He states: "Canadian university law professors have largely abandoned any pretence at being scholars and have turned themselves into propagandists -- propagandists for the ruling clique and the orthodoxy." ******* Likewise, Prime Minister Jean Chretien, Justice Minister Jean Cauchon, Industry Minister Allan Rock, Health Minister Anne McLellan and most other lawyers, inside and outside of politics, relish the increased power that the Supreme Court of Canada has conferred on the legal profession. Most of these same lawyers and Liberal politicians also overtly or covertly share the politically correct, post-modernist and feminist ideology that animates most of our top judges. ******* What can be done to curb the judicial subversion of democracy and the rule of law in Canada? Absolutely nothing, Martin suggests, so long as most Canadians remain complacent. "Absolute power, in Lord Acton's aphorism, corrupts absolutely and the Supreme Court is now absolutely corrupt," he concludes. "This distressing situation will exist only so long as Canadians continue to tolerate it, and Canadians are probably the most tolerant people on earth. There is no virtue in tolerating the intolerable." ******* Rory Leishman ******* 836 Wellington St., ******* London, Ontario, ******* Canada N6A 3S7 ******* Home/Office Phone: 519-439-2676 ******* Home Page: www.roryleishman.com ********************************************************************************************************************************** ******* item 18 ANOTHER BC TEACHER THE SUBJECT OF "CONDUCT UNBECOMING" ******* from CHRISTIAN LEGAL FELLOWSHIP e-Newsletter, December, 2003 ******* Frank Wagner, a BC veteran teacher, is being investigated by the BC College of Teachers for "conduct unbecoming a member".
