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.

Because here's the thing; if you think you deserve to know what's going on with your child, that's fine. That's a healthy thing to want to know. And if your child thinks there's something you should know, they'll tell you.

But if they haven't told you, it's because you've never given them any reason to believe that it would be safe to tell you, and that is entirely on you.

@Voroxpete @sik0fewl Many probably would. Many “parental rights” people view their children as more akin to property than people.

Ah, I see. So you're just playing devils advocate then.
