Saskatchewan Party Proposes School Change Room Ban for Transgender Students
Scott Moe pledges to implement a policy barring 'biological boys' from girls' changing rooms if re-elected, sparking controversy and criticism.
- Moe's proposal comes after a complaint about transgender students changing with girls in a southeast Saskatchewan school.
- The policy was not part of the Saskatchewan Party's original campaign platform but is now a priority if re-elected.
- NDP Leader Carla Beck criticizes the proposal, arguing it targets vulnerable students and distracts from more pressing educational issues.
- The existing legislation requiring parental consent for students under 16 to use different names or pronouns has faced backlash from LGBTQ+ advocates.
- Former Saskatchewan Party members and political figures have endorsed Beck, citing concerns over divisive politics.
