Alberta’s revised restrictions on books in schools take aim at works containing explicit images of sexual acts, but it’s not the first time the province has banned graphics in the name of protecting children.
In 1954, the province established the Advisory Board on Objectionable Publications to control the sale of comic books and magazines.
The board was developed in response to a “growing outcry from parents, educators, religious leaders and others,” to investigate so-called “crime comics” that supposedly inspired undesirable behaviour in kids.
This is the CBC’s latest attempt to redraw Alberta’s ban on pervert positive child-grooming propaganda in schools as a “free speech” gender-health issue.
You can just hear the sophisticates at the CBC “Oh man this will rile the rubes!”
