BC United MLAs hear wide-ranging concerns in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — The BC United town hall on Tuesday (Oct. 10) night in Kamloops brought forward a lot of different opinions and beliefs. Those included questions about sexual orientation and gender identity content in school curricula.
“I wonder if either of you support the policies of keeping secrets from parents about their children?” asked a Kamloops resident.
“We place the safety of our children first and foremost in everything we do and I have never come across anybody who disagrees with that statement,” responded Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone. “Number two, we 100 per cent believe that parents have a right to transparency and a right to know what is going in classrooms and need to be involved.”
