Montreal teacher disputes school policy on student gender identity disclosure to parents

Quebec’s Superior Court is reviewing a case involving a high school teacher, identified as A.B., who claims her Charter rights were violated when she was instructed to use different pronouns for a transgender student in class and with their parents. A.B. is challenging a provincial policy that allows students aged 14 and up to change their name and pronouns without parental consent, arguing it infringes on her freedom of conscience and expression. The court is also considering anonymity requests from witnesses, which has sparked a debate about public interest and transparency in the proceedings.
