#abed — Public Fediverse posts

Dozens of Alberta school divisions have pulled more than 170 books from libraries this year to comply with a provincial book ban order, including award-winning graphic novels, a sex-ed comic book and the film and graphic novel adaptations of George Orwell’s “1984.”

Alberta’s premier and education minister held a private meeting in February to discuss school funding and education policy.

Documents released through an access to information request show attendees included a number of right-wing think tanks and groups. Brett McKay reports. #abpoli #abed

Ok, so they aren’t listening to voters, AT ALL? Because the polls all say that the VAST majority of the population thinks there should be NO public money for private schools.

This scary precedent could soon affect workers of any industry, anywhere in Canada.

We're calling on all unions and workers to support The Alberta Teachers' Association and demand irrevocable protections for workers right to strike!

Shame on Danielle Smith and the Alberta UCP!

Thinking about this survey tonight, via @albertateachers : "Teaching on empty: Alberta teachers among the world’s most stressed and overextended, OECD report": https://teachers.ab.ca/news/teaching-empty-alberta-teachers-among-worlds-most-stressed-and-overextended-oecd-report #abed #ableg

Teachers, you are not alone. We too are horrified by the actions of the Alberta government this week, dismissing your rights and sending you back to the same overcrowded, unsupported classrooms. We see you. We continue to fight with you.

It appears that Danielle Smith herself is hiding as the UCP force through Bill 2.

Also, where is Minister Glubish?

Good evening. I'll get right to it. You all need to be fucking mad as hell right now. Because what Danielle Smith’s government is threatening to do in Alberta isn’t a negotiation tactic. It’s a constitutional crisis in the making. #ableg #abed #abpoli #cdnpoli

#Alberta teachers - if you need a good cry, listen to these students supporting you.

This is such a bonkers response to a very respectful high school student worried about their education.

These "Alberta Next" panels are a complete joke meant to push the UCP's separatist agenda.

Since Dale Mountain’s resignation as chief financial officer, at least nine other Athabasca executives have either quit the university or resigned from management to rejoin the AU faculty as professors.
