Abbotsford School Board has not yet decided to allow Social Justice 12 in Abbotsford high schools.
- This is an elective course meaning there is a choice to take it or not.
- The board questions the subject matter and thinks it may be too mature for grade 12 students, and is better suited as a University course.
- They believe the teachers to be insensitive and incompetant to be able to teach the issues discussed in this course.
Our objective is to ensure Social Justice 12 to be offered where there is a demand in school district 34.
The school board continues to question the maturity of our students while ignoring the demand for this curriculum. I am sending a formal request today to each trustee to address their doubts about teacher competency directly. Send a quick email to your own district representative now to reinforce that this course belongs in our high schools.

The momentum behind this push proves that our community is ready for this curriculum. Call your school board representative today and demand they stop stalling on this elective. Post this link to Facebook to keep the pressure on the district.

The teachers at my school are plenty capable. This is just an excuse to keep things quiet. Very disappointed in the district.

So tired of this school board making choices for everyone. It is an elective course for gods sake. If you dont like it dont take it!

Ridiculous that they think grade 12s can't handle real world topics. They are practically adults and need to know this stuff before heading off to uni.

Way overdue. Kids pay attention to what happens in the world and they want to talk about it in class. Give them the chance.

My kid wants to take this class. Let them learn. Why is the board so scared of students having an opinion?
