Substitute “British Columbia” for Colorado, and this is what I’m seeing in my own jurisdiction. I’ll be running for school board in Victoria, BC in the fall of 2026. I’ve already had parents quietly thank me for my willingness to publicly raise their concerns and the reasons they are pulling their children out of public schools here.

It’s not the case that thousands of millennial and GenX parents have suddenly become “hateful, transphobic, homophobic bigots.” If only the sensible and seasoned educators and administrators would say out loud and publicly that the emperor has no clothes, and that the “SOGI framework” (Sexual orientation and gender identity) rollout in K-12 classrooms and libraries is harmful and destabilizing to children and families.

I’m willing to suffer the slings and arrows, but it would be very helpful to have the accounts and critical perspectives of parents and educators in BC, along with developmental psychologists and other curriculum experts to back me up.

I raised my kids here in Victoria; they are in their 20s now, and thankfully dodged this indoctrination for the most part. But I want to speak for the parents here who are too busy and too afraid of reprisal to run for trustee.

Thank you for reporting on this upside down world. I’ll be buying something from XX-XY Athletics.
