Readers offer opinions on the Saskatchewan Party government\u0027s policy requiring parental consent for students to change names and pronouns.
The most powerful privilege is not having to be afraid. I’ve never been afraid of governments in this country. Until now. The Saskatchewan Party’sContrary to Premier Moe’s claim, a school’s default position is always to notify parents, about everything. Schools are in the business of building community and they know fully the benefits of having involved caregivers.
The Sask Party doesn’t understand scared children, because it is their privilege to not feel fear; they do know how to create it, though. It does not make sense for the government to go to great political lengths to force legislation that attacks our most powerless citizens, unless it taps into a larger game at play.
Premier Moe, in preparing to invoke the clause, has decreed that parents’ rights supersede children’s rights, regardless of what the courts would have ultimately concluded. This is a despicable attack on the people who are educating over 95 per cent of Saskatchewan students in public and Catholic separate schools.
