In Saskatchewan:

'Education Minister Dustin Duncan announced earlier in the day that going forward, schools must now seek the permission of parents or guardians before allowing students under the age of 16 to change what the province refers to as their "preferred" name and pronouns.'

'Duncan also announced that parents must be informed about the sexual health education curriculum offered in their children's schools and have the opportunity to opt out of their children receiving those lessons.'

Predictable tantrums have ensued:

'"The new policy violates the rights and dignity of 2SLGBTQIA+ young people'

'The Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation described the policy as dangerous'

'violent and despicable'

I read this. This is a step in the right direction.

It's a tiny start. We will see if he holds the line, though.

New Brunswick has sad something similar. It's been very divisive there, even within the government party. I am curious about how it will go with Sask.

Great news
