‘Aggressive’ anti-SOGI protest forces B.C. school trustees to cut meeting short
The final Surrey school board meeting of the year ended abruptly Wednesday evening, after a group of parents and other adult anti-SOGI protesters disrupted question period by yelling through a megaphone and calling for trustees’ resignations.
At a previous meeting, “it wasn’t even a parent of our district, a woman stood up and started graphically telling stories that were inappropriate for anybody to hear and I told her to either ask a question or sit down. And then next meeting, the group was a little larger,” Larsen explained to“This particular group, the anti-SOGI group has been visiting every district throughout the province.
“One of the things said last night was that we’re trying to make kids trans. Absolutely not, but we do want kids to know that they can be who they are at school and their families can be who they are at school and we will accept them. That’s why we were there last night.” If meetings continue to include “vulgar” or “harmful” language from the audience, individuals may receive a warning, be removed from the meeting, or authorities may even become involved in some cases.
