A protest took place on Sunday in Saskatoon, uniting concerned citizens against a new policy that would mandate students under the age of sixteen to obtain parental consent before their schools can make changes to their names or pronouns.
The voices of frustration and dissent are growing louder in the community, as residents share their concerns over this new policy that touches upon students' right to express their identities.
Some participants in the protest shared their thoughts:
"...It's ruining children's lives; they can't be themselves at home, they can't be themselves at school," one protester remarked.
"It's ridiculous they can be doing something like that. It's unbelievable," another participant exclaimed.
Saskatchewan NDP MLA Matt Love spoke at the event, expressing his strong opposition to the policy and calling for an immediate halt.
"I think pausing it is the bare minimum right now. I think they should scrap these changes altogether,” Love said as he addressed the crowd.
