[edit] denial

I do not see anything in this article that indicates the category 'Holocaust denial' or 'Holocaust denier' is appropriate. Can someone help here? Hmains 00:03, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

• "In 1984, Keegstra was stripped of his teaching certificate and charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with "wilfully promoting hatred against an identifiable group" by teaching his social studies students that the Holocaust was a fraud and that Jews are "treacherous, evil and responsible for depressions, anarchy and war."" -- Chabuk ^{[ T • C ]} 00:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Was his first convivtion declared declared unconstitutional, then he was retried? The Canadian court seemed to have trouble dancing around some of their other decisions on free speech. His problem - unstated - appearsto be his use of his teacher's position as a bully pulpit to indoctrinate trapped students. Of course if he trapped his students by grading according to their belief in the holocaust, he would probably be the principal long ago.159.105.80.141 17:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

One of the links - Echoes of Auschwitz - make it clear that indoctrinating kids is okay i Canada - just be careful which way.159.105.80.141 17:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
