Outgoing Chilliwack board chair says anti-SOGI trustees won’t be allowed in schools

[TheProgress] Outgoing school board chair Paul McManus has a warning for voters considering choosing trustee candidates who have expressed opposition to the SOGI 123 resource teachers use to combat bullying of LGBTQ students.

“We have a ‘group’ of people running for school trustee that will not be welcome in our schools,” McManus said in a letter to The Progress. “Let me say that again. They will not be welcome in our schools.”
