A majority of Canadians say schools should be required to inform the parents if a child expresses their desire to change their gender, a recent poll finds.

The poll, conducted by market research firm Leger, found that 57 percent of Canadians said that public schools have the obligation to tell parents about their child’s desire to switch genders or pronouns should their teachers become aware of it.
