A few protesters positioned themselves outside a Surrey high school Monday afternoon, largely targeting a teacher at the school, even after provincial legislation was passed to increase safety on school property in the presence of protesters.
“I certainly have no urge to engage with people who engage in violent rhetoric. I am not stepping outside,” Ohana said to Peace Arch News over the phone, while in the school building. “Every kid and teacher in our province has the right to go to school without being disrupted by aggressive or hateful protests,” Premier David Eby said.
While inside the school, Ohana said she witnessed a few students asking police officers on-scene to assist in escorting them outside the school as the protest was happening. Although on leave for bereavement, the teacher said it was important for her to be there that day. While students passed by the protest to enter the school, they told Ohana that the signs the protesters were carrying were wrong, adding, “This is bullying.” This response from students made the teacher proud, she said.
“What I do not approve of is the language being used and the lies being told and people being criticized for how they were born,” she emphasized.
