Abstract
The chapter examines the legal position of a teacher who publicly disseminates homophobic ideas, specifically identifying himself as a public school teacher. The issue arose in the 2004 British Columbia case of Kempling. The individual there was a guidance counselor as well as a teacher. The authors argue that in such a case the equality and educational rights of students outweigh the speech rights of the teacher and therefore such a teacher is appropriately subject to professional discipline. The students passively implicated in such contexts are both highly impressionable and have no practical alternative to being in the school environment. Gay and lesbian students in particular will feel marginalized by such teacher expression, even when made outside the school context. Teachers on the other hand have alternatives both in terms of where they work and speak and also how they identify when they speak.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
