NDP MLA Jared Clarke says he wants an apology from Premier Scott Moe, who he says targeted his transgender children during the recent provincial election campaign.
A Saskatchewan legislature member who says his transgender children were targeted after an election campaign promise about school change rooms wants an apology from Premier Scott Moe.
Opposition NDP member Jared Clarke told the legislative assembly this week his two 12-year-old daughters were subjects of a complaint for using a girls’ change room at a southeast Saskatchewan school.
Clarke says there was a news article about the complaint and photos of his children shared online, resulting in his family receiving hate.
Moe said during the campaign he did not know the identity of the children.
He has since said he is no longer making the ban a legislative priority, as school boards are being consulted on a change room policy.
