I thought everyone had the right to express an opinion no matter if it disagreed with the Government?
Freedom Of expression
Freedom Of expression
Seeing that this is board is Canadian, is there any problem with a someone pointing to Canadian issues for once instead of arguing about our neighbours backyard. I find it odd that you guys are so eager to jump on the freedom of expression bandwagon for flaming homosexuals and ignorant protestors but find it convienant to ignore suppression of views not in line with your own.S_Baker, has the United States become so peaceful and just that it has become necessary to travel abroad to find questionable moral/political issues of the day? If you are particularly interested in the gay rights issue, perhaps you could offer your thoughs on the recent ruling in Ohio to BAN gay marriage, and your president‘s whole hearted endorsement of this bigotry? The teacher in "your" story is under investigation for abusing HIS authority; Bush isn‘t, last I heard.
Well, with over a million people in uniform, you can‘t ensure everybody is perfect. We had this problem in Canada too, thanks to MacLeans.Oh look, US servicewomen are being raped by US soldiers in Iraq.
The fact that he is a teacher that posesses these types of views is what is wrong. People like this should be weeded out of the application process of becoming a teacher. Or anybody who has any influence on anyone for that matter.Originally posted by Bruce Monkhouse:
[qb] If I read that right he was‘nt teaching it in his class but just wrote editorial letters to a newspaper, so where is your arguement nbk and Fusilier? He was‘nt working or teaching but just writing his thoughts to a newspaper. If they don‘t affect his judgement at work than whats the problem? You can‘t possibly believe that people suspend all their beliefs when they reach a position of authority, they just can‘t let them get in the way of professional decisions. CHEERS [/qb]
