As some provinces are creating new policies to address children’s preferred pronouns and gender identity issues, Ontario Premier Doug Ford recently took a stance on parental rights, suggesting that school boards are not supposed to be “indoctrinating” children but stopping short of announcing a formal mandate on the matter.
“Most important is the parents’ rights. The parents’ rights to listen and make sure they are informed when their children make a decision,” Mr. Ford said as part of a speech he gave on Sept. 8 in Kitchener, Ontario, at Ford Fest, his annual family barbecue and event.
