A former Chilliwack school trustee, Barry Neufeld, raised strong concerns about SOGI 123 and chose to speak out publicly. Mr. Neufeld described SOGI 123 as a “weapon of propaganda” that threatens “traditional family values,” and criticized what he called the “absurd theory” that “gender is not biologically determined, but a social construct.” He further claimed that this “lie” alienates children from their parents and makes them vulnerable to harm.
