In an emailed statement on Saturday, a spokesperson said the Saskatchewan Party government “remains committed to implementing the policy.”
“Parents and guardians have an important role in protecting and supporting their children as they grow and develop,” the statement said.
There was no mention of the rally in the Saskatchewan government’s response.
There are a lot of situations where Child and Family Services won’t step in, but it’s still not something that you would want to live through.
Sometimes it’s just about hiding well enough to not get kicked out, so you can finish school or be able to stay in real school instead of getting placed into religious private school.
Parents may eventually find out anyway, but they also might not. I was a goodie two-shoes when I was kicked out for being gay, but most parents didn’t seem to know about the drug/smoking/drinking/sexting habits of their children.
Such as when the parent invokes their religion as a reason to be shitty to their kid.
