ABBOTSFORD, BC—Protests in Abbotsford, B.C., continued for the third day in a row on Sept. 28 as parents concerned about the SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) curriculum in local schools are demanding to be heard by school trustees and other city politicians.

When the Abbotsford school board met on Sept. 26, members decided to cancel their scheduled monthly meeting after hundreds of protesters gathered outside chanting, “Leave our kids alone,” prompting the trustees to call police and be escorted out of the building. The Epoch Times reached out to the chair and vice-chair for comment but did receive a reply by press time.
