whitchurch- stouffville he resides at rr 6 milton ont hes not afraid to speak his mind regardless of how con troversial the subject might be his latest outrage will strike a common chord with a recently organized stouffville group calling itself the concerned citizens of york county young people says rev campbell are being brain washed to accept as science the suicidal seductions of darwin and freud in our public schools these philosophies he claims are cults just as destructive and devastating to their millions of followers as the religion which produced the horror of jonestown ken campbells views were contained in a letter to dr bette stephenson the ontario minister of education protesting the family life course content in the public school system he claims schools today are dominated by the religion of secularism based on the atheistic assumptions of dar winian mythology and the moral relativism of freudian heresy darwinian mythology says rev campbell cons our kids into believing they are mere animalsa collection of meaningless molecules moving through a purposeless time- space spectrum campbell substantiates his charge by quoting worldfamous psychiatrist dr viktor frankl who said pornography crimes of violence drugtaking alcoholism and the growing suicide rate among young people are only symptoms of a much deeper sickness in the modern soul despair over meaninglessness is the source of most of societys present ills in his letter ken campbell reminded the minister that hed been paying the educational portion of his property taxes under protest to queens park since 1974 as an expression of his distress over the misuse of public funds to propagate that destructive religion secularism in the schools head lice problem now under control stouffville

busy trying lo scratch out a living he said it must be remembered said doug that wages also have gone up considerably in recent years and so has the standard of living folks cant have it both ways he
