Clip Chilliwack School District Board Meeting February 7 2023

[PamelaJonesRMT]

This Willow woman is horrible! She needs to go. She was elected by the public. She needs to know her role and who she is accountable to.

[lisablamey]

What a bully. Why isn’t anyone calling her out! This is not ok

[millionlyer]

The people here are disgusting I’m one of the students who go to GW Graham, and it has been horrible. They don’t care about your mental health. I have a disability and I don’t get the help. I need They treat me like shit. Every time I go to ask for help they tell me there’s nothing they can do about it. The school district is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen.

[waylay]

This school board should be ashamed of themselves. How they treated concerned parents, and what they’re allowing our kids to be exposed to. Shame!

[shreddie]

willow was my grade 6 teacher - never allowed room for anyone’s thoughts or beliefs except her own - i highly believe it’s crucial to leave space for kids to discover their own opinions rather than being told what’s right and wrong - she would openly tell certain students she wished they were the only ones in the class etc. worst teacher i’ve ever had. honestly thought she got fired.

Very sad to see the Chilliwack School District Board...so rude and ignorant...

[fran]

Wow! I have rarely seen that level of rudeness from a board chair. That was disgusting behaviour.

[Holladayworld]

The only way to turn this ship around is to vote them out! Change the board!

[sunnyskies]

And this clip doesn't even show when she shut off her equally elected co workers mic - Heather wanted to read something later in the meeting and Willow shut her down. Why are different views not allowed to be spoken about by an elected official.

[JenniferRowse]

Love the engagement of these parents/grandparents! The majority of the school board on the other hand, how embarrassing!

[jaimesteegstra]

Willow Richelt has acted quite inappropriate, extremely rude and disrespectful. Her leadership at this meeting was unacceptable. To my assessment she disregarded parents concerns and made no effort to acknowledge, clarify or understand. Disgraceful.

[maureenm]

I think Willow has forgotten who she works for.

[Daniel-Goodfeather]

Willow is an abject embarrassment and has been known to wield her middling level position with godlike authority because she waves the rainbow flag and woe betide any who may not walk in lockstep with her dystopian jackboots.

[angelafust]

Mrs willow is disrespectful, rude and in this meeting everyone can see how her character really is and how she treats others…
She needs to leave
She should have never being elected

[Jilly]

Wow who’s the C running this show. Clearly parents have lost the rights to children in the school system

[jessieb]

Yikes, Willow openly showing disgust at people that are expressing their concerns over sexually explicit material in schools. Is it seriously so hard for people to understand some parents object to sexually explicit material in school libraries? Perhaps there needs to be some reeducation as to what "inclusivity" and "diversity" actually mean. It does not mean, zero tolerance for opposing positions. This isn't a one woman show. Is she even aware of her role? Or is she just pushing forward with her own biased objectives in schools, concerned parents be damned. That's what it would seem.

[beyond_rift]

Parents have legitimate concerns and this chair is shutting down their freedom to speak and share. Unfortunately for the chair, the denial mode won't change reality.

[karajean]

PARENTS/GUARDIANS: I urge you to speak up for our kids! This is not ok on any level and they completely contradict themselves constantly. Please if you know of any of these books take a photo, bring them to the RCMP. It is illegal to have these books accessible to minors. We have voices and we should be heard ESPECIALLY when it concerns our children. They don’t have their best interest at heart whatsoever. It is not educational by any means, it is straight up pornography these books they’re allowing. Let your voice be heard and LET KIDS BE KIDS!

[muffyfromlegal]

Willow should be removed from ANY position of power, she obviously has disdain for anyone who is worried for their children and grandchildren. She is disrespectful and is not professional whatsoever!!

[kaygreen]

Willow is showing herself to be quite the repugnant individual. She needs to learn how to conduct herself professionally and refrain from bullying/muting others the way she so blatantly does.
Parents should be given 5 minutes, at least, to have their concerns over THEIR kids properly heard. This is unacceptable.
