Canadians divided on talk of sexual orientation in schools, poll suggests
In a new poll, nearly half of Canadians say they support the notwithstanding clause to ensure that schools tell parents if their child wishes to use a different name or pronoun.

I wish these polls would ask those same parents if they support outing children to abusive parents when doing so might endanger the child.
@Voroxpete @sik0fewl Many probably would. Many “parental rights” people view their children as more akin to property than people.
I think that’s a great talking point, however I strongly doubt it’s true.
I don’t have kids so I’ve got no pony in this race, but I do have a dog. He’s not property, I’m not his ‘master’, but he is 100% my responsibility, which is why I keep him on a leash whenever we leave the house. It’s why I spend my time watching him when we’re at a dog park instead of sitting on my phone like the other people there.
@baconisaveg I’m not the only person suspecting what “parents’ rights” means to many or most of the rightwing advocates of it. While I often side-eye people using Youtube to back up their claims, I do think this particular Youtuber succinctly lays out the often problematic use of “parents’ rights”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNOmFBw1I_M&t=6s
