Education Minister Dustin Duncan said at a news conference Tuesday that there will be provisions in place for children wanting to change their name and pronouns who believe they are at risk of harm if their parents find out.
The default position needs to be, ‘How do we provide that student with the support so that they are comfortable with their parents knowing a decision they want to make?’"
The policy shift comes after an incident at Lumsden High School in June, where a Grade 9 student picked up graphic sex ed material left behind by Planned Parenthood after members of the organization presented to their health class.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) swiftly condemned the policy shift, saying it made it more dangerous to be a LGBTQ student in the province.
Policy changes were teased earlier this month by Premier Scott Moe in a post-byelection press conference.
“A majority of voters in Lumsden-Morse still believe that it is the Saskatchewan Party that is the best option to address these concerns and we intend to do just that,” Moe said on Aug. 11.
