A Regina judge has ruled that the Saskatchewan government’s naming and pronoun policy should be paused for the time being, but Premier Scott Moe says he’ll use the notwithstanding clause to override it.
Moe, responding to today’s injunction issued by a Regina Court of King’s Bench Justice Michael Megaw, said he intends to recall the legislature Oct. 10 to “pass legislation to protect parents’ rights.”
“Our government is extremely dismayed by the judicial overreach of the court blocking implementation of the Parental Inclusion and Consent policy - a policy which has the strong support of a majority of Saskatchewan residents, in particular, Saskatchewan parents,” Moe said in a written statement Thursday afternoon. “The default position should never be to keep a child’s information from their parents.”
Last month, the province announced that all students under 16 needed parental consent to change their names or pronouns.
“I believe other people’s human rights should be violated because I don’t like them” is a great position to have right up until you’re the disliked party.
I imagine you picture yourself as always the top dog. Protected, even, by the belief that even if you find yourself face down in the mud, the people you gleefully abuse will not step on your head to let you drown in the muck.
And you’re probably right that they wouldn’t. Because they’re probably better people than you are, having had to learn empathy in a world that doesn’t think much of them.
But I kind of hope you choke on dirt.
I don’t need a bunch of strangers hiding what they are teaching my 8 year old in school. Gender identity is a advanced topic that children don’t have the ability to rationalize.
It is my job to protect my child from harm. I have a right to know.
Where are you getting this from, the worms in your brain???
Apparently they just think that their own disengagement with their kids’ education is a conspiracy against them personally.
If you believe that children cannot comprehend “boy” and “girl”, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Other than we know what all of this is really about. None of y’all are at all subtle about it, nor are you even a quarter as smart as you think you are.
