Little John you go right home and lie to your parents, they don't need to know the real reason you stayed aftr school and spent time in your new club, because the NDP said so..

parents who demand to know their kid's sexuality are creepy as fuck
No they need to know why little Johnny is hanging out at school after hours. Has fuck all to do with anything else

Parents need to know if they're hanging out at school after hours instead of the pool hall or toking up in the bush like they're supposed to!
Your Billy's been lurking after school in the library. Reading books instead of Facebooking on the computers!
Simple fix anyway. Hold the meetings at lunch hour.

Parents have the right to know so they can hide behind the door when the kid gets home and beat him up, Wildrose style, with the mostly-unread family Bible in order to chase the gay away!

...Wow.
Never thought I'd see the day when you support taking away individuals' personal responsibilities and decisions and transfer them to a bureaucratic organization in the form of the school system.
Like a conservative buddy of mine pointed out, shouldn't this be a matter of communications between the parent and the child?
Like he says in the thread, why should communication between the parent and the school replace communication between the parent and the child?
And in case you forgot, this was a PC initiative that the NDP has merely decided to leave in place, genius.

Then why not just ask the kid?
It's each family's individual responsibility.
You know, individual responsibility...the thing that's a cornerstone of conservative thinking?
There, that was easy.

Would've laughed harder if I hadn't met people who went thru that shit.
Get on your knees and pray that faggot shit right out of you!

Nothing like a little lake of fire moment for Jason Kenney...and it's going to come back and haunt him in 2019.

Just another step of Gov. raising kids and keeping the parents are arms length.

No, it's about giving the kids the space to be who they are. Letting them grow without the judgement, scorn and bullying that normally accompanies being of school age and being gay.
There used to be Band Clubs, Chess Clubs and I even remember Rocketry Clubs. Gay Straight Alliances are just another after school club.
But Jason Kenney isn't likely to require a note home to mommy and daddy when little Johnny joins the Badminton Club, just when he joins a GSA. That's how you get homeless teenagers. Do you want more homeless teenagers?

"What if it's the parents that the school is trying to protect the kid from?"
"Kids are property. Wives too. I can do with my property what I want to. Don't interfere in the free market, hippie." - standard stock social conservative answer.
