HRCs Are Just Trees in a Forest

The HRCs are a legitimate threat to the quality of the public discourse and the freedom of citizens with politically incorrect opinions. They have done significant damage to such citizens and deserve the intense scrutiny they are receiving. But HRCs are just trees in the forest of the war to censor of such opinions. There are victims for whom the HRCs cannot take credit.

One such victim is Chris Kempling. A summary of his incredible story is here, from a column in the National Post.

I find it disconcerting that my professional body wishes to sanction me for my political involvement, for conduct in a completely different profession servicing my own faith community and for opinions published in other provinces or countries. This action has potentially alarming consequences, not only for Canadian teachers, but for all regulated professions (social workers, psychologists, nurses, etc.), for whom such cases end up establishing legal precedents.
Also note, per our previous post, that Kempling can easily demonstrate that he is not 'homophobic', by virtue of the rational, well-researched defense of his position, and his befriending of several homosexuals. But in the world of politically correct censorship, the truth is no defense.
