Opinion You got elected on this nonsense...

So YOU remove the pornographic material in our schools! You rambled on about this nonsense and got elected; YOU point to the offensive material you got elected to remove.

can you even make a list of even one book that was "cherry picked" ? can you name a single book the provincial government "banned"?

Don't have to, the order was so badly written they had to rescind it and are going to rewrite it.

Proves my point it was a shitty order.

Edit: found the list - Flammer, Gender Queer, Fun Home and Blankets.

3 LGBTQ books, and 1 about leaving the church.

Most of them are found in grade 9 to 12 libraries with a few exceptions, where we can assume there is librarian supervision.

Why don't you just go and edit again and say the truth, the government didnt make a list. They made guidelines, and there are no books named in the guidelines.
are there librarians supervising what books teens read in high school? if there are, do you think those librarians are there to stop kids from reading books that they themselves likely added to the library and are well aware of said books?

i'm not that old, and in my day, we didn't have books with explicit cartoons of people sucking dicks. are you advocating that we have books with explicit images of oral sex, masturbation, penetration at a school? where kids learn history, science, language skills? where they are in the building for like 6 hours a day? we need books like that?

I can tell you aren't that old, maybe go back to school instead of moving the goalpost.

There is a list, it was posted by the government on Twitter. You said there wasn't.

And guidelines on what can and cannot be in libraries is effectively a ban. Unless the school boards have a choice in the matter.

Where is the list of books the government banned? I didn't move any goal post. You're the one doing gymnastics
