The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education seminar featuring a keynote speaker, James Kincaid, whose writings propose the normalization of sexual attraction for children was first exposed on this blog last month. You can read the background HERE and HERE.
Dr. McVety has proposed that Canada should bar Professor Kincaid from entering Canada.
Joe Warmington at the Toronto Sun has written an article about the controversy:
Controversial author James R. Kincaid, who wrote the 1992 book, Child-Loving, The Erotic Child and Victorian Culture, should be turned back at airport, says Charles McVety, a child safety advocate and president of Canada Christian College.
“Kincaid’s earlier work in Victorian literature and culture and in literary theory has yielded to publication in cultural studies, most recently in the history and current cultural practices of eroticizing children and instituting elaborate scapegoating rituals to disguise what we are doing,” states a website promoting the event.
His planned Oct. 19 address is entitled “What Is This Thing Called a Child and Why Do We Want to Teach It?”
But it won’t happen if McVety, who is also president of the Institute for Canadian Values, has his way.While I am pleased that the Christian leader is drawing attention to the disgraceful agenda that OISE is fostering in the school system, I disagree with the idea that someone who has never broken any laws should be barred from entering Canada for reasons detailed further in an open letter I wrote to Dr. McVety.
He has fired off a letter of protest to Immigration Minister Chris Alexander and Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney urging them not to allow entry of the California-based professor.
