Barry Neufeld is seen lighting a cigarette and taking a drink from a wine glass before his camera cuts out at a Jan. 12 school board Zoom meeting.

It comes after a string of controversial comments from board member Barry Neufeld. 

Jennifer Whiteside says Barry Neufeld should resign immediately, but if he doesn't the province is exploring what next steps can be taken.

Chilliwack Teachers' Association president Ed Klettke said it's unacceptable for an elected official to use the slur.

Barry Neufeld's latest comments have prompted another round of calls for him to resign, including from the education minister.

Barry Neufeld has made headlines the past few years for what many describe as his controversial stance on issues relating to gender identity, transgender people, and SOGI 123.

Barry Neufeld's post drew condemnation from B.C.'s education minister, Chilliwack's school board chair, and transgender rights advocates.

Barry Neufeld suggested that the chief medical health officer may be transgender and, if so, has been deceiving Canadians.

The chair of the Chilliwack school board called Barry Neufeld's post — which links the WHO, transgender issues and Canada's top doctor — a conspiracy theory with "a new twist."

Hansman's criticism came after Neufeld wrote a Facebook post that said allowing children to choose their gender identity amounts to “child abuse.”
