✍️ Socially conservative "parents' rights" groups in Canada are gaining influence, with two groups claiming credit for persuading Alberta to institute a book ban on explicit sexual content.
👉 Alberta has directed schools to purge library books that contain explicit sexual content 👉 The policy targets books that affirm LGBTQ+ identities 👉 Academics and free speech advocates say the policy is overly broad and potentially harmful 👉 Two groups, Action4Canada and Parents for Choice in Education (PCE), have taken credit for persuading Alberta to institute the book ban 👉 Four graphic novels have been identified as examples of books to be culled
