Not for a crime. For arguing against a school policy on gender and sexuality.
Also early this year, the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal fined former school trustee Barry Neufeld a staggering $750,000 for hurting the feelings of fellow trustees and staff who identify as 2SLGBTQ+. As the CBC put it, Neufeld “poisoned” the offices “with a public campaign against classroom resources on sexual orientation and gender.” Others might say – and some have said – that Neufeld was standing up for the interests of parents and the safety of pupils in attempting to protect children against being sexualized at an inappropriately young age. This is, in other words, precisely the sort of topic that should be debated vigorously – and freely. Neufeld is seeking to have the Tribunal’s decision overturned.
