This v public thread conversation was copied from Twitter. These are some powerful statements by a high powered representative of the BC public school system. When Mr Nelson used his credentials as a school principal of 35 years, he elevated & understood himself to be taken seriously and as a "professional" as defined by law. Mr Nelson goes out of his way (possibly called to duty by BC school administrators who like to use Sec.177 on children ?) to falsely downplay & minimize how many times Sec.177 was & is used by public school superintendents & principals on children & care-givers in his public statement on Twitter. For Mr Nelson to publicly attempt & justify Sec.177 being used because of parent's marital status edges on possible hate crime evidence if indeed it is being used for such nefarious purposes. PS. for the record, Karen & Murray Frank that were viciously & wrongly attacked with a Sec.177 by the Coquitlam School district when they reported an assault by a school administrator on their child are happily married. Mr Nelson as a "professional" principal also uses his credentials to publicly minimize Sec.177 awareness as "hysteria". Since Sec.177 law is being used directly on under-aged children in secrecy, this could be a very serious statement if Jim Nelson is using his "professional" status to obstruct or throw off an investigation or scare others from coming forward to report Sec.177 misuse & abuse. Shocking ! When active British Columbia school superintendents were requested to come to the table with Sec.177 dialog on the record, not one dared to write back ! click here to view letter to 60 BC superintendents
