Manitoba Teachers’ Society president Norm Gould has urged the Hanover School Division board of trustees to be a leader in LGBTQQ* awareness in its schools.

And, in a presentation to the Steinbach-area trustees on Wednesday evening,  Gould offered the teachers’ union’s support in providing awareness training.

The trustees have yet to say whether they will accept such help, from MTS, Education Minister Ian Wishart, or anyone else.

The division has been the centre of controversy over the trustees’ refusal to allow discussion of sexual identity issues in its classrooms.

It began when the child of same-sex parents was bullied in school. Those parents, Michelle McHale and Karen Phillips, have now launched a complaint against Hanover S.D. through the Manitoba Human Rights Commission.
