I believe that trustee Weber’s actions over the last nine months coddling anti-SOGI activists while lashing out at critics of her attempts to bring prayer into a public school setting is unacceptable.

As a parent I am asking the current School District 57 trustee and board chair Rachael Weber to resign from the board.

I am also worried that Weber can’t separate her political aspirations and the inherent conflicts arising from being both chair and official candidate for the BC Conservatives. In Tuesday’s meeting, trustee Holland put a motion forward that asked trustee Weber during new business in the agenda to explain how she would manage the inherent conflict associated with being a trustee and a BC Conservative Candidate. Trustee Weber, Antrim and Brennan all voted against the motion and it was defeated.

Weber was asked by the Citizen this summer how her running for office would not put her in conflict of interest with her role as chair and the Citizen specifically referenced as an example Conservative leader John Rustad and failed candidate Karin Litzcke’s support for two adults in Kelowna who thought it was ok to start screaming at a kid and questioning her gender at a sports event. Both the BC NDP and Green party issued a joint statement calling their support unacceptable and transphobic.
