Eby says the province has counted 18 major disruptions at schools across the province since the start of the school year, and several more before September, including demonstrators banging on classroom windows at a school in Burns Lake.
“[It’s] concerning, frightening, alarming and it makes school feel like a not safe place,” he said.
Eby said all of the incidents the province has counted involved demonstrators against SOGI 123 — the province’s optional educational resource for teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity — but said the law is content-neutral and will be applied equally regardless of the cause.
