The lack of any positive acknowledgement of transgender issues or transgender history makes it difficult for transgender, gender nonconforming, or questioning young people to feel that they have a place in the world. Unless it is corrected, the omission of transgender and gender nonconforming people from the curriculum creates a misconception among many students that transgender people do not exist or are an object of scorn. Therefore, school board and school staff are expected to challenge gender stereotypes and integrate transpositive content into the teaching of all subject areas (\u2026)\u201d<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<p>Examples of inclusive practices look like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>English: reading books that show diverse families, relationships, and identities.<\/li>\n<li>Social Sciences: learning how gender roles differ across cultures and history.<\/li>\n<li>Science: discussing topics like intersex people.<\/li>\n<li>Languages: exploring how pronouns and gendered words work in French, Spanish, and other languages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For examples of school board policies on inclusive curriculum, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/queerstudentrights.ca\/resources\/\">Resources<\/a> section of this Guide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"sk-ab\" data-midnight=\"\" data-column-margin=\"default\" class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row inner_row\"  style=\"\"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\"> <div class=\"row-bg\" ><\/div> <\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12_inner col span_12  left\">\n\t<div style=\"\" class=\"vc_col-sm-12 stats wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col child_column padding-4-percent inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-using-bg=\"true\" data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"true\" data-bg-color=\"#666666\" data-bg-opacity=\"0.2\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" ><div class=\"column-bg-overlay-wrap column-bg-layer\" data-bg-animation=\"none\"><div class=\"column-bg-overlay\" style=\"opacity: 0.2; background-color: #666666;\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"nectar-highlighted-text font_size_3em \" data-style=\"text_outline\" data-outline-thickness=\"thick\" data-user-color=\"true\" style=\"color: #020000;\" data-using-custom-color=\"false\" data-animation-delay=\"false\" data-color=\"\" data-color-gradient=\"\" style=\"\"><h3 class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading\"><em>Moves Against Rights:<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/div><h4 style=\"color: #020000;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading\" >Limiting Access to Sex Ed in Saskatchewan and Alberta<\/h4>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<p>In 2023, the Saskatchewan government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canlii.org\/en\/sk\/laws\/astat\/ss-2023-c-46\/latest\/ss-2023-c-46.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">introduced a law<\/a> allowing parents to opt their kids out of all or some of the sexual education taught in schools.

These policies require all classroom materials related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and human sexuality to be pre-approved by the Ministry of Education and requires parents to opt-in for each lesson their child receives on sexual orientation, gender identity, or human sexuality. The CCLA sees these policies as a concerning example of government censorship.

In that case, a teacher asked his school board to approve three books to be taught in the family life education curriculum. Because the books depicted families where both parents were of the same sex, the school board declined to approve them because some parents disapproved. When this was challenged in court, the court concluded that the school board\u2019s decision was unreasonable because it violated the principles of tolerance and respect, and was based on exclusion. While some people said that teaching young children about queer relationships and families was not appropriate, the Chief Justice said that these books teach children tolerance, and \u201c[t]olerance is always age appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-4 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding
