The PGDTA president's call for board support for SOGI programming was interrupted by an outburst from the gallery, forcing the board to recess the meeting.
The School District No. 57 board meeting was momentarily brought to a halt when members of the public shouted from the gallery following a presentation on the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity program in schools.
In his presentation, Beauregard was asking the board to take action and be vocal about supporting anti-discrimination. “We have a lot of work to do to protect the safety of staff and students and we need support from the board as you are the leaders of the district.” When Beauregard suggested the board could make it known that anti-SOGI and anti-inclusion candidates should be discouraged from running in the upcoming byelection, members of the public shouted “that’s undemocratic!” and called Beauregard “a dictator”.
Remarkably, no one signed-up to give public comments during the allotted time following the final adjournment of the meeting.
