Saskatchewan opposition parties have now responded to other parts of the Parents’ Bill of Rights Act than just the school pronouns policy.The three main parts of the Parents' Bill of Rights Act mandate parents be informed if their child under 16 years old requests to use a different pronoun or name at school, it bans third-party sex education organizations from classrooms, such as Planned Parenthood, and makes it mandatory for schools to fly the Saskatchewan flag.The new upstart Sask United Party helped push the issue of parental rights to the forefront of Saskatchewan politics after Planned Parenthood distributed pornographic sex cards to a grade nine class in Lumsden.

We are pleased that both solutions were added to the Bill.”The Western Standard repeatedly asked the Sask NDP to directly address other parts of the Parents’ Bill of Rights Act other than the pronoun policy section.“Thursday’s release talks about misplaced priorities and I think that stands in relation to the bill as a whole,” said an NDP spokesperson.None of the NDP press releases on Thursday discussed third-party sex education or flying the Saskatchewan flag at all schools.The NDP press releases discussed a hole in a school roof and a town losing a doctor. There was nothing about third-party sex educators such as Planned Parenthood, which the NDP has historically supported.Sask United supports all schools flying the Saskatchewan flag.“I agree with the government’s decision to require the provincial flag to be flown at all public schools,” said Wilson.“It reflects the pride we have for our province, and it is a common-sense requirement for provincially funded schools.”
