New billboard in West Kelowna, B.C. sparks outrage among many
A new banner in West Kelowna, questioning what children are being taught in school has been sparking outrage due to its message and graphics shown on it.
The billboard, stationed along Highway 97 in West Kelowna, shows a cartoon woman, who appears to be a teacher, wearing a mask in front of a rainbow flag with a caption reading “What are your kids really learning in school?”“It’s promoting hate against the 2SLGBTQ, against educators who are supportive and trying to create safe spaces in schools, and discriminating against a whole community,” said Wilbur Turner, Chair of Advocacy Canada.
One of the Co-Organizers of Get Awake Canada, the group responsible for the billboard shared what the message means with Global News.Part of the statement reads, “The billboard is about political and ideological indoctrination of children in Canadian Schools.
However, Turner says the billboard, is a targeted message directed at the queer community and that when it comes to children, it’s only doing more harm than good. “This targetting is really harmful to children, especially children who are trans or gender diverse and it sends a message to them that it’s not okay for them to be who they are,” said Turner. “They shouldn’t have to fight for their existence”
