Justice Centre fighting for Saskatchewan parents

The University of Regina Pride Centre for Sexuality and Diversity is challenging the right of Saskatchewan parents and guardians to be informed about the consent to the gender identity transitions of their children under the age of 16. Last August, the group launched a constitutional challenge to Saskatchewan’s parental consent policy which required teachers or principals to obtain consent from parents or guardians before their kids could use opposite gender names and pronouns in schools or embark on becoming a member of the opposite sex. U.R. Pride says that this parental consent Policy would violate the child’s right to life, liberty and security of the person and the children’s right to equality.  John Carpay is president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms. He and his group have been assisting Parents for Choice in Education and Gender Dysphoria Alliance in obtaining intervener status in this court action. He has the latest as to where things stand right now.
