The Chilliwack School District trustee is Barry Neufeld, against whom a human rights complaint was filed by a union of local School District staff. Mr. Neufeld has publicly criticized the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI 123) curriculum supplements that BC teachers are encouraged to use. SOGI 123 materials promote, among other things, the belief that gender is fluid, that there are more than two genders, and that gender is not determined by biological sex.
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in 2016 amended the BC Human Rights Code to include protection for “gender expression” and “gender identity”.
