The Alberta government says new legislation would require teachers and school boards to be “neutral” and “impartial” when delivering lessons and crafting a school environment.

Bill 25, An Act to Remove Politics and Ideology from Classrooms and Amend the Education Act, will also bar the display of any flags inside or outside schools, other than the flags of Alberta and Canada, with some exemptions to be revealed later.

Education and Childcare Minister Demetrios Nicolaides tabled the omnibus education bill in the legislature on Tuesday.
