A court-appointed official from the U.S. is trying to take over a private school in B.C. run by the polygamist Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Bruce Wisan, appointed by a U.S. court to protect the assets of the Church, has launched a lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court.

He is hoping to gain control of the Bountiful Elementary-Secondary School near Creston, B.C.

Speaking from his home in Utah, Wisan said he became involved in Canada because of the split within the community between followers of FLDS leader Warren Jeffs and supporters of Canadian Winston Blackmore.

He says children of Blackmore supporters are not allowed to attend the school or even use the playgrounds.

Wisan said he launched the lawsuit to force an equitable distribution of FLDS assets in Canada.

He has asked the court to remove the FLDS members as directors of the society that runs the school. He wants to be appointed as trustee to regulate the school’s affairs.
