Bullying ad should have been worded differently
I was reading my Leader newspaper today when I came across the “Celebrate Diversity” full page ad (Feb. 26).
Although I commend everyone for wearing pink on Feb. 27 as a stand against bullying, I was shocked that the Surrey Teachers’ Association message about bullying was not to take a stand against bullying in general, but against “homophobic and transphobic” bullying.
Why so specific? All bullying is wrong. I think the ad is troublesome and should have been worded differently.
