Premier Danielle Smith Teases Anticipated Policy Addressing Parental Rights in Alberta

"I am optimistic that we can remove political biases from the conversation and focus on the children who are affected by the issues we discuss as adults. It's crucial to ensure we strike the right balance."

The UCP government in Alberta is planning to announce a new policy called "parental rights" next week. Premier Danielle Smith mentioned this on her radio show and emphasized the importance of finding a balance between what parents want and what's best for growing children.

During the radio show, a caller named Linda asked about a previous statement from Smith regarding "many stakeholders" and inquired about when to expect a parental rights bill in Alberta. Smith explained that the upcoming policy, to be released next week, would address parental rights and the education of children.

At a previous UCP meeting, Smith talked about the significance of parents being the primary caregivers and educators. The party members later passed a resolution suggesting that schools and teachers should get written permission from parents before using specific names and pronouns for students.

When asked about this resolution, Smith said she would discuss it with her team and get input from the community before making any decisions. She didn't commit to introducing legislation similar to other provinces that requires parental consent for students under 16 to change their names or pronouns. Some people criticize such laws for potentially limiting the rights of transgender and nonbinary kids.

During the radio show, Smith mentioned that consultations have taken place within the UCP caucus, involving broad discussions. She acknowledged the importance of balancing parental rights with children growing up. Smith understands that parents may want to protect their children's innocence, especially regarding topics like sexuality. However, she also stressed the need to support children as they become independent individuals. The challenge, according to Smith, is finding a balance that respects both parents' concerns and children's freedom to make their own decisions as they grow up.

  “Judgment Handed Down for Ex-CIA Operative Convicted of Leaking Secrets to WikiLeaks” A man involved in one of the most significant data breaches in the history of the CIA, where secret hacking tools were publicly disclosed, has been sentenced to 40 years in federal prison. Joshua Adam Schulte, a former CIA officer aged 35, faced convictions related to the Vault 7 leak and the possession of child sexual abuse images in trials held in 2022 and 2023. Damian Williams , the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan, stated on Thursday that Schulte betrayed his country, causing substantial damage to national security. Williams emphasized that Schulte's actions stemmed from a desire for revenge against the CIA due to their response to his security breaches during his employment there. Despite prosecutors seeking a life sentence, the imposed 40-year sentence reflects the severity of Schulte's actions. Having left the CIA in 2016, Schulte was found ...
