The Minister of Education has assured parents that he does not plan on making it mandatory to out children who want to use different names and pronouns in schools.
Bill Hogan said what he’s actually considering is preventing teachers from using the child’s preferred name and pronoun until a parent consents.
Hogan made the distinction at a meeting this week with parent school support committee chairs from all anglophone school districts, according to two committee chairs.
