The Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) concluded its investigation into teacher Chanel Pfahl and decided not to move to a disciplinary hearing after she spoke out against critical race theory. .“They delivered a 2 minute ‘oral caution’ this morning, and that was that,” said Pfahl in a Wednesday tweet. .“Thanks to @TDF_Can for representing me throughout this ordeal.”.Pfahl, who worked as a high school science teacher at the MonAvenir Catholic School Board, said in March she was being investigated by the OCT for remarks she made about critical race theory. ."It looks like I will be needing a lawyer," she said. .She said children are not in school “to be indoctrinated with critical race theory.” She added teachers should focus on modelling kindness to every one and speaking out against all forms of discrimination. .Pfahl went on to say it appears so long as “you’re willing to risk getting suspended by your school board, and to have your teaching license at stake for an uncomfortable duration, Ontario teachers are indeed allowed to say ‘kids aren’t in school to be indoctrinated with CRT.’” She asked people to imagine that. .This investigation comes after former St. Michael Catholic Secondary School religion teacher Kennedy Hall was suspended by the OCT in December for expressing concerns about feminism and promoting masculine behaviour. .READ MORE: Ontario teacher suspended for telling male students to be masculine.“He acknowledged and the panel accepts the admitted facts constitute professional misconduct under the heads of misconduct set out above,” said the Discipline Committee of the OCT. .“The admitted facts demonstrate that the member engaged in a pattern of communicating his beliefs about gender roles and identities in an intolerant and discriminatory manner against those who do not conform with his beliefs.”
