> As part of the announcement, Nicolaides issued a list of specific sex acts that can’t be explicitly described in library books alongside new rules for what students can read.
> Religious texts, such as the Bible, will be allowed on the shelves.
Appears that overt hypocrisy is a feature of UCP politics, not a bug. If this were actually about protecting children from depictions of sexual acts, the Bible would have been banned as well. The fact that it’s not makes it clear this is about culture wars, nothing else. As stated in the article:
> Critics have said the province seems more concerned about engaging in culture-war politics than student well-being, as most of the books Nicolaides said he was looking to take off shelves deal with 2SLGBTQ+ subject matter.
Yup. Ding ding ding.
So no books on anatomy or those used in sex education…..
Oh wait, no the ban is being used to target the queer population in Alberta,
>most of the books Nicolaides said he was looking to take off shelves deal with 2SLGBTQ+ subject matter.
Oh and
>Religious texts, such as the Bible, will be allowed on the shelves.
Which is full of absolute smut. The bible will be allowed but books the creeps in charge decide are sexually explicit aren’t….
I mean;
>(2) And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
–Genesis (19) : 33 – 36.
So all the rape and incest in the bible is a ok!
Yeah, court challenge coming in 1…, 2….
>Education minister says province’s new standards aren’t about banning books
…then proceeds with a book ban, decided by Puritans who are likely closeted deviants in the first place.
I can guaran-fucking-tee that the list of banned books will mostly be LGBTQ2+ material.
Why stop at sexually explicit material? What about drug and alcohol abuse in books? Regular violence?
AB’s Education Minister sounds like a really dumb person. Just flat out dumb. It must suck being that dumb, but it looks like it’s paying dividends for him somehow.
Again, I can’t believe that anyone who has ever read Blankets cover to cover left with the sense that it was inappropriate to be in high school libraries.
It’s okay that in fiction sometimes the bullies say mean and hurtful things.
I don’t get it. Alberta kids don’t have cell phones? Do they really want their kids getting their advice on AskUncleCrusty.com?
I hear breastfeeding and hand holding are on the list 🤦♂️
The whole thing is premised on families taking care of their own sex education. I don’t how The Talk went in your family across the generations but in my experience that’s a 50/50 shot at best, with a heavy bias on the good ones being progressive
Unless they’re only taking books like metamorphosis from the shelves, this ain’t gonna sit well with a whole lot of people
This is fine if it is age-stratified.
For young kids in grade 5 and below, I don’t see why sexually explicit books are needed. It’s no different than films that restrict viewership to children less than a certain age.
In grade 8 and above, I don’t see the need to censor books.
Parents can do what they want on their own dime and time. If they want to introduce sexually explicit content earlier, have at it.
But a school library doesn’t need to be a center of controversy, and having reasonable rules that strike a balance is fair.
Bible, gone. Quran, gone. Is a book about a drag queen explicitly sexual? Nah..it stays..that’s what’s gonna happen.
>Explicit sexual content, defined by the province as detailed and clear depictions of sexual acts, including masturbation, penetration and ejaculation, will not be accessible to students in any grade.
So, some of the most important pieces of literature ever written will be banned. An 18 year old isn’t allowed to take out *Ulysses* from his school library?
>Non-explicit sexual content, which refers to depictions of sexual acts that are not detailed or clear, will only be accessible to students in Grade 10 or higher.
A student in Grade 9 isn’t permitted to read *Othello*?
This is literally just about the LGBTQ community and we all know it. There’s a reason why religious texts are permitted.
Conservatism is a societal impediment.
New plan. We split Alberta down the middle. We get an extra big BC and an extra big Saskatchewan. Anyone who wants to leave Canada gets a free suitcase and a goodbye party.
>Students in Grade 10 and above will be allowed to read about kissing, hugging and hand-holding as they are not deemed explicitly sexual in nature.
That means 1984 must be removed from the curriculum, because it includes sexual intercourse.
Abusers target the vulnerable, and ignorance is vulnerability. Children are going to get hurt by this, and it’ll be decades before they even have the language to communicate that they’ve been victimized.
