Protests against new sex-ed, student pronoun policy in Saskatchewan

Protests against new sex-ed, student pronoun policy in Saskatchewan
Dozens gathered in Saskatoon on Aug. 27 to voice their concerns and show support for the province's LGBTQ2S community.

On Aug. 22, Education Minister Dustin Duncan introduced policies for parental inclusion and consent, which include schools seeking parents' permission when changing the preferred name and pronoun of students under 16 and for parents to be informed and able to opt out of their children's sexual health education.

Protest organizer Fran Forsberg said she found these policies unacceptable, as she believed they put children's lives at risk.
