Conservative activist Kari Simpson says she has filed a human rights complaint against the Vancouver School Board (VSB) for fostering hate against Christians by “advocating the use of slurs like homophobe, homophobic, homophobia and heterosexism.”

In the complaint dated April 18, Simpson alleges the VSB is “actively engaged” in promoting hate and contempt for Christians by endorsing the anti-homophobia program Out in Schools, which, she claims, contains materials that “deliberately mock Christians, promote racism and undermine religious dictates and cultural values of some students and staff.”

In her complaint, Simpson describes words like homophobia and homophobic as “made-up.”

They’re designed to “demean, demoralize and foster hatred and contempt for those who acknowledge the scientific, medical and economic harm associated with certain sexual practices,” she claims.
