Now if you want to indoctrinate them ,send them to church. All the talk about drag etc. Is only a way to criticize those lifestyles by using children to fearmonger.

At least we agree that gender change treatment for minors as bad as buggery by priests.

Pedophiles are just that no matter how they identify.

Their sexuality or gender identity is none of my business, nor yours!

So mind your own affairs and live your own life and stop encouraging and supporting LGBQT+ bigotry and hate conspiracies that have been discredited.

Opinions like yours are the reasons many children are harmed
Let someone else worry about , not your business
Everyone has to stand up for kids everywhere including you

Agreed Agstar , but why give them an invitation and a free pass ?????

The attack on transgender LGBQT+ kids and people is endangering their lives and affecting their mental health and putting them at risk of more suicides.

How they live their life that has nothing to do with yours and is none of your business.

Several of his Conservative cabinet ministers are totally against what Premier Higgs of New Brunswick plans for changes to the the law that schools support transgender kids and gives them a safe place.

He will lose the next election.

The attack on transgender people is just more far right hysteria flowing north.

N.B. Premier Blaine Higgs faces caucus revolt over education policy on pronouns

Teachers in New Brunswick will no longer be obligated to use the preferred pronouns or names of transgender or non-binary students under age 16, under a policy change that led to a revolt among Premier Blaine Higgs’ Progressive Conservatives after it was introduced on Thursday.

The change alters a policy the province originally introduced in 2020, which required school personnel to use students’ preferred names and pronouns.

In the face of the uprising, which included six ministers in Mr. Higgs’ 18-member cabinet and two backbenchers, the Premier held fast, suggesting that the issue could force an election.

Transgender rights in classrooms have in recent years been a flashpoint in the United States, and are increasingly being debated at school boards in Canada. Advocates for transgender and non-binary students in New Brunswick have stressed that children should be able to express their gender identities without involvement from their parents, who may not be supportive. Opponents have said parents have a right to be informed of significant developments in their children’s lives.

Gail Costello, co-chair of Pride in Education, a non-profit group of New Brunswick teachers that advocates for LGBTQ students, allies and staff, said the change is reckless and harmful to children. “Our government has turned this into a parents’ rights situation at all costs,” she said, adding that the vast majority of teachers already use kids’ preferred names and pronouns because it’s the right thing to do.

“It’s a dangerous combination of ignorance and power that we have here, and you put those two together and you end up with kids losing some of their human rights,” said Ms. Costello, who retired last year from teaching at Oromocto High School, near Fredericton, N.B. “These policies save lives.”

Kelly Lamrock, New Brunswick’s child and youth advocate, previously released a scathing report on the province’s plan to review the original policy, criticizing evidence in e-mails provided by the province that showed online hoaxes and conspiracy theories were fuelling some of the opposition. Mr. Lamrock said he plans to provide legislative analysis to the provincial assembly.
