Editor: As a resident of Langley and a long-time teacher in both public and independent schools, I am surprised that your paper is giving priority to the move to validate SOGI curriculum for our schools.
Those actively promoting this are not part of the mainstream but are seeking to normalize gender confusion. There is no doubt that bullying must be opposed wherever it raises its ugly head, but this does not mean that school districts should then swing 180 degrees to promote a curriculum which is not based on what is biologically normal, but which sows the seeds of doubt in very young children about whether they are boys or girls.
This is social engineering, not “inclusion.”
In a previous paper, Langley Times chose to feature on its front page a defaced rainbow sidewalk (easily powerwashed clean), while the next page reported a devastating explosion in Aldergrove, something which will affect the residents of that home for months to come. Let’s get our priorities right.
