Callaghan, University of Calgary  \nLittle is known about the experiences of non-heterosexual educators in  \nCanadian Catholic schools. This article reveals previously unreported data  \nfrom a qualitative study that compares the treatment of and attitudes towards  \nlesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (lgbtq) teachers in publicly  \nfunded Catholic school systems in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and  \nOntario. The findings paint a disturbing portrait. Of the 6 teacher participants in the study, 4 are no longer teaching in Catholic schools and 3 of those 4 lost their jobs for contravening Catholic doctrine about non-heterosexuality. The experiences of these gender and sexuality diverse teachers are theorized using various critical theories.  \nSome readers may be familiar with the attention the Canadian news media have been giving to Catholic schools in the province of Ontario over the struggle for gay–straight alliances (GSAs), or support groups for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (lgbtq) 1 students and their allies (Baluja & Hammer, 2011) . This struggle can be cast as a clash between church and state, or Catholic canonical law vs. Canadian common law (Callaghan, 2012) . For those unfamiliar with Catholic canonical law related to lgbtq people, it can be distilled into the colloquial Christian expression “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” The sin we’re supposed to hate is  \n1 Researchers who examine sexual and gender diversity in a variety of contexts generally use the acronym LGBTQ (in upper case) because members of this population often use the words that comprise the acronym to describe themselves (Baird, 2007). I transform the acronym into lower case because it is less jarring to read and is less likely to linguistically set up the population as an obvious Other. In North America, the lgbtq population is also referred to as “non-heterosexuals,”“gender and sexual minorities,” or “gender and sexually diverse persons.” These latter terms are often more appropriate for those who have immigrated to North America from parts of the world that do not recognize lgbtq identities.  \nthe wickedness, in Catholic parlance, of “homosexual acts,” which are “acts of grave depravity”that are “intrinsically disordered” and count among the list of “sins gravely contrary to chastity”(the language of the Catholic doctrine cited in Ontario Conference of Catholic Bishops, 2004, p. 53). This irreconcilable concept of it somehow being acceptable to be lgbq but not to do lgbtq underlies curricular and policy decisions regarding gender and sexual diversity in Canadian Catholic schools.  \nThe church camp has been quietly winning for many years (Callaghan, 2007) but the passing of Ontario’s Bill 13, the Accepting Schools Act (2012)—which mandates that all Ontario schools must allow students to establish GSAs—shows the state camp is now gaining ground. This important victory is limited, however, to improving the situation for lgbtq students in Catholic schools. The same kind of progress has not been made for the health and well-being of lgbtq teachers in Canadian Catholic schools. In light of the recent spate of lgbtq youth suicides throughout North America (Savage, 2010), few would argue against the need to keep schools safe for vulnerable sexual and gender minority youth; however, the same empathy and understanding is not extended to lgbtq teachers, whom many believe are free to simply change schools or leave the profession entirely. This is not a viable option for many lgbtq teachers.  \nThis article draws from my recent study (Callaghan, 2012) and highlights previously unreported data about the plight of lgbtq teachers in Canadian Catholic schools. It offers a general overview of the findings ofthe study pertaining to queer educators and then focuses on two teachers’ experiences to illustrate the two types of circumstances the teacher participan","cbCaidRgsdOKnxa1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidRgsdOKnxa1","pdf",547151,"English","# Doctrinal disciplining of queer educators in Canadian Catholic schools\n## Comparative study and key findings\n## Church-state context and policy impact\n## Emancipatory theoretical framework\n## Central research question and subset question\n## Narrative analysis approach","[{\"question\":\"What does the study reveal about how LGBTQ teachers are treated in Canadian Catholic schools?\",\"answer\":\"The study presents previously unreported qualitative data showing troubling treatment and attitudes toward LGBTQ teachers, including that some participants were no longer teaching in Catholic schools after doctrinal conflicts.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Catholic doctrine affect curricular and policy decisions in these schools?\",\"answer\":\"The article links an irreconcilable doctrine about being acceptable while actions are forbidden to gender and sexual diversity decisions within Catholic school curricula and policies.\"},{\"question\":\"What theoretical framework and research question guide the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"The research uses emancipatory and critical pedagogy traditions and anti-oppressive educational research, guided by the question of how power operates in Canadian Catholic schools, including how power produces teachers as subjects.\"}]","DOCTRINAL DISCIPLINING OF QUEER EDUCATORS IN CANADIAN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS | PDF",1792083433,48]
