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 best explanation I've seen so far is that now that the abortion issue was crushed by a conservative supreme court in the USA, the next thing they're trying to do is indoctrinate the youth, because church attendance is dwindling.

Of course, it doesn't take long for that bullshit to bleed into Canada.

It's time to double-down on the demand for free/cheap and secular education.
