Parent response shows why LGBTQ policy is needed in Richmond
- I attended the Board of Education meeting on Feb. 20, I’ve read the articles in your paper and the parent letters around the LGBTQ policy that will be created by Richmond — like most other school boards in this province and country. I’ve also read the petition put forward by the parent group opposed to the policy. And, quite frankly, the response by these parents highlight exactly why such a policy is needed. If it were not, there would be little to no response — proven by the fact that there are already existing policies for children with extra needs and First Nations students that have been created with nary a ripple from the public.
