Edmonton Schools Identify Explicit Books Through Detailed Process

Edmonton Public Schools hired 11 teachers last summer to review sexually explicit books following a ministerial order from Alberta Education to remove such material from school libraries. The project, costing $43,000, involved evaluating 500 titles, including notable works like The Handmaid’s Tale and Brave New World. The initiative faced criticism, including from Premier Danielle Smith, leading to an updated order prohibiting books with explicit images. Compliance with the mandate was a priority, with a deadline set for January 5.
