Alberta schools remove over 160 books for explicit sexual content

Alberta school divisions have removed over 166 graphic novels and other titles from libraries following a provincial order aimed at eliminating explicit sexual content from student access. Notable works removed include graphic adaptations of classics like A Handmaid’s Tale and 1984. Critics argue the restrictions infantilize students and overlook their exposure to graphic imagery through other mediums. The Education Ministry maintains that the order serves to protect children from inappropriate material.
