Barry Neufeld Interview - July 2025

The last time I wrote to you about courageous former school trustee Barry Neufeld was in February. Since that time, Barry has finally completed his Human Rights hearing in May 2025.

Unfortunately, this long 8 year ordeal is not over yet. He won't receive his "verdict" until the Fall, and both he and his lawyer believe the tribunal is biased and has already made up their mind against Barry.

How did this Human Rights complaint start? In 2017, while a trustee for a local BC school board, Barry made some comments critical of teaching gender ideology to young children in BC schools. One thing he said was that "transitioning children is child abuse", which led to a complaint being registered against him for hate speech.

If you were hoping for a fair hearing, think again. Barry's lawyer tells me the Human Rights Tribunal didn't even allow Barry to bring forward some of his key witnesses - including two young women who have detransitioned (in other words became transgender, but then decided it wasn't for them), and also a gay man with a transgender child who is speaking in Barry's favour.

It appears they don't want to allow anything that would run counter to their "progressive" ideas.

What a shame for justice and for truth.

His name has been run through the mud, and he tells me he's even been attacked publicly by the BC Teacher's Union.

Given the expected unfairness and ideological nature of the tribunal, Barry and his lawyer believe he will lose. Barry says the tribunal will likely charge him $750,000 in fees - an astronomical sum that he is unable to pay.

Barry is not going to rollover, and will appeal if he loses.

Barry needs your help today to fight this charge, especially now that it's clear the tribunal is playing fast and loose with the rules by denying his key witnesses.
