David Weber’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT Party Research

Very strongly agree

No, forced disclosure could endanger children who have unsupportive or abusive families

This rationale closely matches the Green Party’s emphasis on protecting vulnerable youth and preventing discrimination/harassment; Greens have repeatedly supported trans and gender-diverse people’s safety and would be sympathetic to concerns that forced disclosure can expose students to harm at home.

Very strongly agree

No, students deserve a safe space to explore their identity without fear of immediate outing

Greens generally support creating safe, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ2S+ students and protecting them from being outed; the idea of allowing students to explore identity without immediate forced disclosure aligns with the party’s rights-based approach to gender identity and student well-being.

Strongly agree

No

Greens generally support student privacy and safer-school policies for LGBTQ2S+ youth, tending to oppose mandatory parental notification rules that could amount to forced outing; this fits their long-standing pro–LGBTQ2S+ rights stance and support for inclusive school environments.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Green Party of Canada has consistently framed LGBTQ2S+ inclusion and trans rights as human-rights issues, generally opposing policies that would force schools to out students to parents; this aligns with their broader platform emphasis on privacy, safety, and anti-discrimination protections for gender-diverse people.

Strongly disagree

Yes, parents have a fundamental right to know about significant changes in their child's life

While Greens recognize families’ roles, they typically prioritize the child’s safety, autonomy, and privacy in matters of gender identity; framing it as an absolute parental right conflicts with the party’s human-rights-oriented approach to trans inclusion and protection from discrimination.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, schools should never keep secrets from parents regarding their children

An absolute 'never keep secrets' rule would effectively mandate outing and undermine student confidentiality; Greens’ pro–LGBTQ2S+ rights orientation and focus on safeguarding at-risk youth makes them strongly likely to reject blanket disclosure requirements.
