QUEBEC — Police are investigating after a letter to parents about a nonbinary teacher's honorific was shared widely online, resulting in threats and disparaging comments.
The school that hired the teacher issued a letter to parents this week saying that the part-time instructor will use the Mx. honorific because they are gender neutral.
Centre de service scolaire des Hautes-Rivières, the school district southeast of Montreal that hired the teacher, confirmed the authenticity of the letter and said it should not have been shared on social media. Sgt. Jean-Luc Tremblay of the Richelieu-St-Laurent police force says an investigation began Wednesday after police received a complaint from the school about threatening online and voice messages.
