A former trustee of the Chilliwack Board of Education in British Columbia has been ordered to pay $750,000 following a ruling by the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal<\/a> over his public comments opposing transgender policies.<\/p>\n

In a decision<\/u><\/a> issued Feb. 18, the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal ordered Barry Neufeld, a former Chilliwack Board of Education trustee, to pay $750,000, “to the members of the Class, comprised of CTA members identifying as LGBTQ between October 2017 through 2022, for injury to their dignity, feelings, and self-respect.”<\/p>\n

The decision says that Neufeld was first exposed to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI)<\/a> called “SOGI 1 2 3” in the decision, in 2017 when he attended an “information night” about SOGI, hosted by Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, described as a television personality.<\/p>\n

According to the ruling, on Oct. 23, 2017, Neufeld posted on Facebook describing SOGI, as a “\u2018weapon of propaganda,\u2019 which instructs children about the \u2018absurd theory\u2019 that \u2018gender is not biologically determined, but a social construct.\u2019 He said \u2018allowing\u2019 children to \u2018change gender\u2019 was child abuse.\u2019”<\/p>\n

The ruling states that Neufeld “ended the post saying he belonged in a country like Russia<\/a> or Paraguay, \u2018which recently had the guts to stand up to these radical cultural nihilists,\u2019” and linked to an article titled “Parents Defeat Gender Ideology in Paraguay.”<\/p>\n

Neufeld later apologized for his post. However, the decision states that, “Over the next five years, Mr. Neufeld made dozens of public statements expressing his opposition to SOGI 1 2 3 and gender affirming care for trans youth, characterizing the reality of transgender and gender diverse people as simply a \u2018theory\u2019 or \u2018ideology,\u2019 and warning that teaching children about SOGI undermines social order and primes them for abuse.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The decision said that Neufeld\u2019s public statements “caused or contributed to a poisoned workplace for LGBTQ teachers<\/a> and, as such, adversely impacted them in connection with their sexual orientation and gender identity.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the decision, between 45 and 163 teachers in the Chilliwack School District identified as LGBTQ between 2017 and 2022, meaning individual compensation could range from approximately $4,601.23 to $16,666.67.<\/p>\n

Neufeld was also ordered to pay\u00a0$442.00 in lost wages to a teacher identified as “Teacher C” who lost 17 hours of wages while attending hearings and testifying on the matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to the Chilliwack Board of Education, Neufeld, and his counsel for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
