No Gender Transitioning of New Brunswick Children Without Parental Consent
We applaud Premier Blaine Higgs for his commonsense directive to New Brunswick’s public schools, requiring them to obtain parental consent before teachers can facilitate the sexual transition of their children at school.
The previous provincial Liberal government had banned teachers from giving parental notification or seeking parental consent if a child wanted to use opposite-sex names and pronouns at school. Teachers and principals were urged to facilitate sexual transitions of underage children, and to keep this huge secret from parents, about an incredibly delicate part of the child’s life. How could that possibly end well?
Moms and dads know their children best and love them the most!
Children cannot give informed consent
It’s for a very good reason that children are not allowed to drive an automobile, enter into marriage, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, nor even get a tattoo without parental consent!
It's a scientific fact that children’s brains are not developed enough to have good judgment, nor can they properly understand the long-term consequences of life-altering decisions. The prefrontal cortex of the brain – the part which governs judgment – does not fully develop until at least age 21. For this reason, children cannot legally consent.
However, far-left, radical educators want us to believe that a child can choose their gender, and live a double-life from the one they live at home with mom and dad!
Lawsuit to keep New Brunswick parents in the dark
A far-left litigation group called the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) is currently suing the PC government of Blaine Higgs, seeking to repeal his parental rights directive, so that teachers can once again keep parents in the dark about what’s happening in the lives of their children. The New Brunswick Federation of Teachers is supporting the lawsuit and even applied to the court to act as an intervenor on the side of the CCLA. At the same time, the Liberal Party leader, Susan Holt, has pledged to rescind Premier Higgs' parental rights policy if her party forms government.
Sign the petition to secure parental notification & consent
Premier Higgs must not falter in the face of lawsuits or pressure. New Brunswickers must encourage him to hold the line on parental rights, so please this petition to tell Premier Higgs, "I support your government's parental consent policy for the gender transitioning of minors at school, and urge you to fight with all your resources against any lawsuit which seeks to overturn your parental consent policy. I urge you also to resist any political pressure from the Susan Holt Liberals to abandon your parental consent policy."
