Robert: I wish I could write some good news to you but it is getting very
difficult for me to remain positive. This week, in response to a counsellor's
job I had applied for, I received a letter from my superior, stating that
although I was the senior most qualified applicant, I was permanently banned
from any counselling jobs in my school district. This is not based on any new
offense on my part. I have a very strict letter of direction which muzzles me
quite thoroughly, and I have been abiding by it. Furthermore, with 25 years
of counselling experience(sixteen in private practice), many letters of
commendation, and not a single complaint from anyone over my counselling
abilities (including those of alternate orientations) I cannot fathom why I am
no longer qualified to be a counsellor. This action has effectively
blackballed me from my chosen profession, and makes it very unlikely that I
would be able to find another school counselling job anywhere (one must have
good references for this sort of work).
I also received notice (the same day actually), that the College of Teachers
has commenced a disciplinary investigation of me for a letter to the editor I
wrote last January (it outlined my political party's reasons for opposing the
same sex marriage legislation--I was the official spokesperson in my riding,
and ran as the candidate in the last federal election). I served a three
month suspension for that "offense" already, imposed by my superiors, but the
College has the authority to punish me a second time.
I would welcome your prayers as this is a very difficult time for me.
