Concerns over a learning resource that91裸聊视频檚 been in place for nearly eight years are once again surfacing in a number of B.C. communities.

Protests against SOGI 123 have been taking place regularly in Abbotsford for weeks, with one escalating to the point of people banging on windows and doors of the school district building while a regular board meeting was taking place inside.

In Chilliwack, a protest against SOGI 123 outside a school board meeting was met by a secretly planned resistance rally supporting love and inclusion.

These all follow a new nationwide movement against inclusion of sexual orientation and gender identity acceptance and education in schools, which culminated in the 1 Million 4 Children marches held in September.

But many are saying the movement, and those who are continuing on with localized rallies and marches, are spreading misinformation 91裸聊视频� and even inciting hate.

Abbotsford91裸聊视频檚 superintendent, Sean Nosek, spoke out strongly in favour of the 2SLGBTQ+ community the day before the 1 Million 4 Children event was planned in Abbotsford, in a letter to parents, guardians and families in the school district.

The planned events 91裸聊视频渇ostered inflammatory, transphobic, and hateful behaviours against members of 2SLGBTQ+ communities,91裸聊视频� he wrote. 91裸聊视频淲e want to make it unequivocally clear that the Abbotsford School District supports our 2SLGBTQ+ students, employees and families, and we support everyone91裸聊视频檚 human rights and expression of gender.91裸聊视频�

He said educators have witnessed firsthand the harms caused by campaigns such as this and they will remain persistent in nurturing a safe environment for staff and students.

91裸聊视频淲e consistently stand against disinformation and false narratives aimed at undoing our progress,91裸聊视频� he said, and that parents must teach their children critical thinking skills.

Still, many parents arrived at the mid-morning rally at Jubilee Park the following day with their school-aged children in tow.

That rally was followed just days later by a protest at the board office that ended with staff and trustees being placed in a hold-and-secure position by Abbotsford Police.

Days after that, Nosek and board chair Korky Neufeld issued a statement underlining what SOGI 123 is, and isn91裸聊视频檛.

It seemed to be addressing misinformation being circulated among the community.

Many of the protestors have been calling those in support of SOGI 123 91裸聊视频済roomers,91裸聊视频� and accuse educators of child abuse.

And, they say, they won91裸聊视频檛 stop until the SOGI 123 learning resources are removed from local schools. A letter by Manni Sandhu was published in a local weekly newspaper called The Patrika, in which he states 91裸聊视频渢he protests will continue until SOGI is removed from Abbotsford schools.91裸聊视频�

One of those protests is planned for Oct. 21 at Jubilee Park.

SOGI 123 has been facing criticism since it was introduced in 2016 by the BC Liberal Party, most notably by Barry Neufeld, who was a trustee on the Chilliwack board of education at the time.

Some of the same comments from that time are recirculating today.

A poster being shared on social media channels called SOGI 123 a 91裸聊视频淭rojan horse.91裸聊视频�

That poster also notes four school board meetings in the Fraser Valley this month. The first, in Chilliwack on Oct. 10 has passed. Also noted were Oct. 17 in Abbotsford, Oct. 18 in Surrey, and Oct. 24 in Langley. The list includes the addresses and times for the meetings.

The poster urges people to 91裸聊视频渒eep the momentum going91裸聊视频� and also states that 91裸聊视频渟exualizing children is child abuse91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频渂oy can not be a girl, girl can not be a boy.91裸聊视频�

Another poster says: 91裸聊视频淐ommunities unite to stop SOGI 123.91裸聊视频�

But like in Chilliwack, a counter protest is being planned for the Oct. 21 protest.

Dubbed No Space for Hate, the counter protest is advertised as a way to 91裸聊视频減rotect and advocate for LGBTQ+ students and safety in schools.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淪OGI does not teach young children explicit sexual education,91裸聊视频� the poster states. 91裸聊视频淚t simply teaches them that other family dynamics and identities exist, any identity does not devalue them as people, and we should accept everyone.

Neufeld, while no longer a trustee, has been attending many of these rallies as of late. While there, he wears a billboard sign that states: 91裸聊视频淭here are no transgender children only troubled and confused boys and girls!91裸聊视频�

That is a similar sentiment as to the one shared in The Patrika, which is owned in part by city councillor Dave Sidhu.

91裸聊视频淪chools are not places for sexualizing our kids,91裸聊视频� Sandhu wrote. 91裸聊视频淣or should schools be counselling centres confusing our children whether they might be a boy or a girl.91裸聊视频�

The letter asserts that Sikh, Muslim and Christian families are being 91裸聊视频渂ullied91裸聊视频� because they don91裸聊视频檛 agree that children should be taught that gender is fluid.

The SOGI 123 material is open to the public online.

Nosek and Neufeld outlined how parents and guardians can address concerns through open communication within the local school system.
