. @DekerfDavid thank you for meeting with me this morning to discuss SOGI 123 in my children’s school.

For those who don’t know, SOGI 123 is the part of our school curriculum concerning Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity.

Here is the website: https://www.sogieducation.org

I am very concerned with how you told me it would make people in the community feel *unsafe* — if I were to deliver the approved curriculum materials to each home in our community.
Why would people feel unsafe if a parent simply showed them what their children may learn in school?

What is so unsafe about the curriculum materials, that I should be censored — or ‘strongly discouraged’ from communicating to parents?
I have included in this thread a list of many school trustees from Surrey, Langley, Delta, Richmond, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Vancouver, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver.

I’ve also included the Premier, John Horgan. @jjhorgan
Along with myself, MANY others have genuine heartfelt concerns about certain aspects of this curriculum.

Please take your time to thoughtfully read the plethora of comments following this thread.
This is about ❤️, not hate, and I soundly reject your presumption that I am not interested in *inclusion* or that I am somehow threatening.

I simply want people to converse about school materials that in many cases they do not know exist.
This is not something I’m interested in going to lawyers about.

I don’t like working with lawyers; they are too slow and old-fashioned. This is a MOVEMENT of the people, and We. Will. Not. Stop. exerting our rights as parents.

EVER!
If you think I am not serious, I suggest you peruse my Twitter timeline at your leisure.

We are done with ineffective little letter-writing campaigns.

We are done talking to politicians who won’t listen.

We are done having our voices censored.
We are a democracy and we DEMAND to be heard!

We’re not asking nicely.

We’re simply telling you what is going to happen.
If needed, a small army of us will go door to door throughout our communities, sharing YOUR approved curriculum materials.
It is our *opinion* that the ONLY PRUDENT COURSE OF ACTION is an IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION of the SOGI 123 curriculum materials until there has been a proper public debate and you have taken the time to LISTEN to us.
We WILL assemble in protest outside schools if necessary.

We WILL stand up for the rights of all parents to have input into their child’s education.

Parents MUST KNOW what is being taught to our precious. little. children.

They are practically still babies.
This is just a simple promise. A very very simple promise.

Thank you for listening.

And even though I’m not especially fond of lawyers, I’ll end this off with the classic lawyer line.

‘Govern yourselves accordingly.’
