This is the best summary I could come up with:


A controversial bill on the use of pronouns by school students received final approval in the Saskatchewan legislature and was passed into law Friday.

It also said the law protects students because it calls for school support staff to get involved if a child fears they will suffer physical, emotional or mental harm from their parents finding out.

The government acted after hearing last fall that one school division was enacting a policy to not inform parents in cases where the child didn’t want them to know, Dustin Duncan, minister of Crown Investments Corporation, said in the final debate Friday morning.

“Teachers will have to choose between shoving kids back in the closet or putting them in harm’s way,” NDP Leader Carla Beck said.

Lawyers for UR Pride, a Regina LGBTQ organization, obtained a court injunction until a challenge could be heard later this year.

Bennett Jensen, co-counsel for UR Pride and legal director at Egale Canada, said the team will be determining next steps in the coming days.
