New Brunswick’s proposed education policy change sparks backlash in Ottawa

The New Brunswick government is facing criticism from cabinet ministers, MPs, and senators in Ottawa for its new policy on sexual orientation in schools.
The policy would require children under 16 to get parental consent to change their names or pronouns at school, a change from the previous policy that required teachers to get a student's informed consent before discussing names and pronouns with parents.
The changes have sparked anger from opposition parties and dissent within the premier's own caucus, while the prime minister and other officials have criticized the policy, saying it puts LGBTQ kids at risk and is a regression of their rights.
