Former Alberta teacher reprimanded, fined $4,000 for calling student homophobic slur | CBC News:
A former Alberta school teacher who used a homophobic slur against a
student in a Halloween costume three years ago will get a written
reprimand and $4,000 in fines.
Donald Lee, 63, a former band and
religion teacher at Glenmary Catholic School in Peace River, was found
guilty on two charges of unprofessional conduct at a three-day Alberta
Teachers’ Association disciplinary hearing last week.
The hearing
heard that in the fall of 2018, Lee used a homophobic slur when
questioning a male student who was wearing a female pirate costume for a
Halloween assembly.
The charges related to Lee’s disrespect for
his student in using the slur and his refusal to accept responsibility
for the remark. He had pleaded not guilty to both.
Alberta is putting up a website where students, teachers, and really, anyone, can say anything they want about a teacher. My friends said:
This is the homophobic disgraced teacher who isn’t on the UCP list. 2019 he tried to be UCP mla. Read his posts now – pro convoy, anti masks, spreading misinformation. And was allowed to influence kids for years. https://www.facebook.com/Donald-Lee-Author-Speaker-107451400633288/
