Saskatchewan Premier Invokes Rare Clause to Override Judge, Require Parental Consent for Student Pronoun Changes
-
Saskatchewan's premier summoned lawmakers back early to deal with the "threat" that students can choose their pronoun without parental consent.
-
Only 0.19% of Canadians identify as transgender, but pronouns are becoming a big issue for right-wingers across Canada.
-
The premier introduced a policy requiring parental consent for pronoun changes, but a judge delayed it for potentially causing harm.
-
In response, the premier invoked Canada's "notwithstanding clause" to override the judge's injunction.
-
The premier argues the injunction fails to consider parents' rights as legislation was set to pass despite further legal challenges possible.
