"...One of the basic purposes of BC Parents and Teachers for Life, as spelled out in our constitution, is to support the legitimate rights of parents as the prime educators of their chilren.

Nevertheless, what we are witnessing in practice is the infringement of parents' rights as regards the public schools. This infringement is taking place due to the increasing influence of groups whose special interests are in harmony neither with the interests of students nor of parents; nor, indeed, with the interests of citizens as a whole, who are paying for the costs of the public school system..."
