So let me get this straight...
The provincial government, which banned computerized voting tabulators based on a baseless conspiracy theory, now wants to move provincial testing and diploma exams to an online platform.
(And, given the Alberta government's love for AI and LLMs, I’m assuming they’ll somehow integrate that into the testing platform too.)
Yeah, that tracks 🙄

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.

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.
Ahhh, that was a fascinating ranbit hole to peek into. Sadly, it never occured to me that the modern Jehovah's Witnessed were a splintrr offshoot from a prior group with competing factions. Fascinating!
I do recall seeing some old articles about JW parents being in serious trouble during the war yesrs as their children would refrain from various expected, school-sanctioned activities related to promoting nationalism and patriotism.
Very sad to see no attempt was made to accommodate dissenters within public education.
