Former B.C. school board trustee Barry Neufeld is headed to the B.C. Supreme Court to challenge a $750,000 penalty imposed by a human rights tribunal for speaking out against gender identity curriculum, a process his lawyer expects to take several years.

Neufeld told The Epoch Times in a statement that he is seeking a judicial review of last week’s “unjust decision” by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal, which ordered the former Chilliwack school trustee to pay the fine to members of the Chilliwack Teachers Association who identify as LGBT.
