Saskatchewan's children's advocacy group has said that the new laws surrounding the use of preferred pronouns and first names in schools violate provincial human rights laws.
“One of these reasons could be that the young person knows their identity would not be supported at home,” read the report.
“The young person should not be deprived of their right for the expression of their gender identity to be respected during this time,” read the report. Statistics show that suicide is the leading cause of death among young people aged 15 to 24 and Saskatchewan’s rates are considered some of the highest.
Broda said it is unclear how the education system will provide sufficient supports in situations where students are negatively affected by the new policy. “The Saskatchewan Teachers Federation has been vocal about concerns with the increasing demands on teachers related to increasing class size and complexity. These circumstances raise questions as to whether teachers will be available to offer this support.”
