University of Saskatchewan’s Student Union calls for repeal on Bill 137
Global News ^ | 7/14/25 | Payton Zillich

In October of 2023, the government of Saskatchewan passed Bill 137, otherwise known as “The Parent’s Bill of Rights”.

The law prevents children under the age of 16 from changing their names or pronouns at school without a parent’s consent. The bill also allows parents to prohibit their children from receiving sexual education at school.

When the bill first passed, education minister Jeremy Cockrill shared in a statement that parents have the right to know what is being taught at their child’s school.

“The Parents’ Bill of Rights’ is an inclusionary policy that ensures that parents are at the forefront of every important decision in their child’s life.” said Cockrill.

Now, almost two years later, the University of Saskatchewan Student Union (USSU) has used their platform to bring awareness to this bill once again. The USSU, alongside the University’s Pride Centre and Women’s Centre, wrote a letter explaining why Bill 137 is harmful for students.

“Bill 137 continues to directly harm and enact violence on youth whose understandings of self do not conform to perspective colonial binaries of gender identity and gender expression.” the letter states.

Oh my, how dare they let parents have a say in their children's education and also to the radical left that is considered "violence".

“Student Union”? Wtf? No wonder they are so screwed up. There were no student unions when I was in school and there was also no sex education. Somehow I did just fine without any union in school or afterwards, and learned all about sex, thank you Michelle you hot to trot wonder girl.

The USSU, alongside the University’s Pride Centre and Women’s Centre,

That sounds about right. A mish-mash of university-subsidized activist groups churns out grievance content. They have to put out a press release like this to justify their existence.

Sounds like the hillbilly Canucks have decided to join with the city commie mobsters.

I struggle to understand why student unions exist. They are populated exclusively by folks who have no real-world experience.

It’s like giving your five-year-child a say in what tires you should buy for your car.

The Saskatchewan’s Student Union can call for repeal in one hand and defecate in the other, then see which one fills up first.

I’m trying to wrap my head around “perspective colonial binaries”. It takes a university education to write something that inane.

Agreed. There are 11 types of people:

Those who understand binary.
Those who don't.
And those who are so stupid they think "nonbinary" is a thing.

Much of the cultural rot and dystopia we find so puzzling begins in colleges and universities. They’ve become thoroughly feminized, prioritizing fashion and emotion over truth and fact. The media have been similarly feminized. And in other news: Sperm counts and testosterone levels continue to drop . . .

Absolutely ridiculous. Immature brats should stick to reading, writing, and math. Important decisions should be made by competent adults.

Meaningless gibberish word salad. Kamala must be jealous of this one.

The real question is why would any college student care about what goes on between a parent and child? I’m not going out on a limb and think I am close to why. I think some are getting jollies and erections talking to the children about sexuality.

There have been student unions in the U.S. since the mid-1800s. The article is about college/university level.

I haven’t even looked at assembler in a looong time. And it’s been quite a while since I had to do even bitwise operations. LOL

“I haven’t even looked at assembler in a looong time. “

My last was 1989.
