So, late yesterday, Premier Sith Smith blinked on her ban of 2SLGBTQ books from schools. I have opinions. This follows on the heels of the Edmonton Public School Board (EPSB) publishing a rather lengthy list of books that would have to be banned based on the province's guidelines. Of course, Premier Smith got upset that not only did the book include 2SLGBTQ titles, but also included Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" (among others). Clearly, she says, the school boards didn't understand the intent of the Government's guidelines.
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.
