This video is waaay too long, given what it’s documenting—books to be removed from all Edmonton Public Schools. Alberta, please don’t go the way of the U.S. and start banning books. 🎬@non_toxic_masculinity

Great List! I’ve read most of those books, and am making a note of the others to add to my want-to-read list.📚✅

Sexually explicit books were off limits at one time. Such as ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’. Exactly what is the concern about these books? Very good books ~ thought provoking. Oh, silly me ~ that’s why, apparently. JFC.

It’s not just Trump. Many of the ringleaders of this ban were Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists who were egged on by JK Rowling & other anti-LGBTQ extremists on Twitter because the books they wanted banned were trans/queer themed, and religious parents, mostly of Muslim background, who agreed

The anti-trans haters have specifically targeted Muslim parents and used cherry-picked segments of text to make their cases. The problem is that it's all just manufactured hatred.

It’s not the school board’s decision, it’s because of a Ministerial Order penned by Minister of Education Demetrios Nicolaides of the United Conservative Party and supported (and defended) by Premier Danielle Smith. The school boards and teachers’ union are universally opposed to the ban.
