The poll suggests 78% of Canadian parents think teachers should inform them, while 14% believe that information should remain confidential. 8% of Canadians weren’t sure. Poll also suggests that most Canadians would be accepting if their child wanted to charge their gender identity although those opposing believe it would put the child at risk of violence or rejection from home.
