Janet French writes: “Alberta school divisions complying with a provincial order have removed dozens of graphic novels from their shelves, from illustrated versions of literary classics to coming-of-age memoirs and dramatic retellings of mythology, access to information request results show. Staff at every Alberta school had to review their library and classroom collections last fall when Alberta’s education minister, Demetrios Nicolaides, ordered schools to remove any material containing any explicit depiction of a sexual act. Nicolaides’ interest in reviewing books available to students came at the prompting of the members of two interest groups—Action4Canada, and Parents for Choice in Education.”
