Alberta to require parental opt-in for sex education, reversing current opt-out system.
The Alberta government will introduce legislation this fall requiring parental opt-in for sex education, reversing the current opt-out system. This change mandates that parents sign up their children for each formal lesson and pre-approve outside resources. Critics, including educators and opposition parties, argue this could create unnecessary hurdles and leave students uninformed about sexual health, especially as Alberta faces rising rates of sexually transmitted infections.
