Candidates running in the SD57 by-election were asked to provide their opinion on SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) resources in schools
SOGI resources in schools is a topic that has drawn attention recently in School District No. 57 , and other districts around the province.
B) As this is a hot topic at this time, I would like to lay out that from a personal perspective, EVERY child must find the school setting a safe and inclusive place to be. To paraphrase Ivan Coyote, “Everyone needs a safe place to pee.” As a side note, my wife is a teacher librarian in SD57 and was in the role of District SOGI Lead for three years.
I am baffled that some people are attempting to use this as a wedge issue for school trustee elections, as this is not something that school trustees have any real control over in British Columbia. David Low Those that are for SOGI need to realize that there is no need to defend it. We have it and are doing it. Those that oppose SOGI need to express their concerns directly with a trustee.
