Danielle Smith says the policy requiring parents to be notified when kids 15 and under want to change their pronouns in schools will be proposed in the fall
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her government will introduce legislation on pronouns in schools after classes begin in September.
Smith said she intends to bring legislation forward for a suite of policies she first announced in January. Before Smith spoke on Thursday, the province’s two largest school divisions – the Edmonton Public School Board and the Calgary Board of Education – said they weren’t clear on what the province will implement and when those changes would arrive.
The issue has raised questions over whether Smith’s government would ultimately follow in the footsteps of Saskatchewan’s government. Critics have called Smith’s moves an act of appeasement to her far-right United Conservative Party base ahead of a leadership review in early November, but Smith has said the issue of “parental rights” is important to her government.
