Policy 713: Parental Consent for Children Under 16

New Brunswick's premier is pushing changes to sexual orientation policy in schools. Policy 713 would force four children under 16 to get parental consent to change their names or pronouns at school. The previous version of the three year old policy required teachers to get students informed consent before discussing names and their pronouns with their parents. Some of Higgs own cabinet expressed extreme disappointment in a lack of process and transparency in the policies review.
