Is now a good time to tell Alberta politicians and pearl clutchers that they are not qualified to curate books for all of their society.

#Bill28 #Alberta

Do you know what happens in knowledge gaps? The opposite of censorship is not nothing. It’s something you couldn’t plan for. Reason being, generations of minds thought knowledge was important enough to preserve.

So it is necessary to ask, why is the information there at all? Consider books like signs next to signs, warning of falling rocks.

I’m thinking of the 612 section on the human body. Those books exist because kids need surgeries too, and they have a right to have the words to ask questions.

Great news. It looks like #bill28 has been repealed in #ontario. For those out of the loop, the provincial government recently passed a bill forcing the grossly underpaid education workers #union to end their #strike, or be fined $4000 per day (that's basically 10% of their annual income in a lot of cases). They ignored and pushed on, joined by other unions and they got the bill repealed.

It's good to see any progress with regards to #education in Ontario, even if it's tiny wins.

Now let's push to prevent the destruction of the #greenbelt and get some better healthcare funding.

#dougford is the worst.

Humiliated and under the threat of a general strike, I hope to see #Ford and #Lecce make good on their promise repeal their unconstitutional legislation 12 days after it received Royal Assent.

Big welcome to @TheLawofWork here on Mastodon. An excellent follow from over on the bird site for those who are interested in #LabourLaw or #OntEd

He’s the reason I was able to make sense of the #Bill28 drama.

(Apologies for no CW on this post, my thinking is that this is about a user, not politics… but I’ll understand if that’s rubbing some folks the wrong way.)
