Though the phrase “parental rights” is by no means a new term it has re-emerged during recent conflicts over sexual orientation and gender identity policies in Canadian schools. Here’s a look at what the phrase means, where it comes from and who is included — and excluded — under its umbrella.

    The state must be allowed to totally raise the children in their image so that the state can control them for life.

      It doesn’t matter what you teach or how you teach or even if you teach. It all helps set the directions taken. Personally, I’ll take knowledge over ignorance and inclusion over exclusion, even when I find those things personally uncomfortable.

      The state would need to get involved to stop most if not all of these teachers from teaching kids about gender identity and expression though, wouldn’t it?
