- Visible post text says SOGI-123 was supposedly “defunded” in B.C. but “that is far from the truth”; says ARC Foundation funding was cut off but SOGI-123 is still active and other groups are being funded to make SOGI materials; calls for SOGI-123 to be repealed 100% and “gender theory” not taught in schools.

## Verdict used
Mostly supported on the narrow correction; advocacy framing beyond that.

## Confirmed / supported
- The B.C. government SOGI page still exists and says the SOGI page has moved to the broader Diversity and inclusion page.
- The government-hosted SOGI resource guide PDF remained accessible.
- SOGI 123 / SOGI Education pages remain publicly available, including a British Columbia page and materials.
- Island Social Trends reported a Ministry of Education and Child Care statement saying SOGI 123 “has not been defunded,” remains an optional classroom anti-bullying resource, ARC operating funding was reduced over time, and ARC has not been under contract to create new SOGI 123 resources for at least the last two fiscal years.
- UBC’s SOGI educator-resources page still links to SOGI 123 toolkits, modules and lesson plans.

## Not fully verified in this pass
- OneBC’s claim that “other Left-wing groups” are being funded to make SOGI materials. The article treats that as political framing unless a specific grant/recipient/source is supplied.
- A comprehensive district-by-district map of active SOGI material use.
- Any final official order “repealing” or “ending” SOGI 123 province-wide.
