Story here. (Note that he is teaching at a level that is intermediate between American high school and American university education.) We may put to one side his silly rationalization for his anti-gay bigotry, I am curious to know whether (1) CEGEP faculty enjoy academic freedom, (2) whether academic freedom in Canada includes protection for extramural speech (this was clearly extramural speech), and (3) whether hate speech laws in Quebec, or at the federal level, cover the kinds of remarks at issue here (in which case, I assume they trump academic freedom).
