In New Brunswick, the issue of inclusion in schools is most recently in the spotlight due to calls to review policy that safeguards students and allies of the 2SLGBTQI+ community.
The province's education minister says the review of Policy 713 will consider issues related to providing gender-neutral washrooms in schools and parental rights.
New Brunswick claims to have achieved full inclusion "based on a system of values and beliefs centered on the best interest of the student."
But these recent and other issues related to inclusion beg the question: Whose values and beliefs are determining actions in our school system, and who decides what is in the best interest of each student?
