TORONTO, June 9 (Reuters) - Ruling conservatives in the Canadian province of New Brunswick this week made changes to rules for schools as they sought to "recognize the role of parents" in questions around gender identity, but have faced pushback from within their own party. On Thursday, provincial Education Minister Bill Hogan announced changes to that policy. Another change to the policy removes a reference to students being allowed to participate in activities "consistent with their gender identity". Indiana has enacted a law requiring teachers to tell parents when students ask to be called by a new name or different pronoun.
