What do they think is being taught? What is being taught is to love oneself, care and respect others. As well as math, language, science social studies, drama and gym.

Alberta is the only province that I hear about every freaking day (not in a good way😏) and I don’t even live there.

Being lefthanded is not an ”ideology”. Being gay is also not an ”ideology”.

30 plus years of teaching and not once did I or any other teacher I know told a student what to think , we are in the business of teaching young people to think. I know most of the kids I taught would agree that this Minister of Education sounds like a government official authoritarian state. Totally unacceptable. We teach kids the basics so that they use to think for themselves. Clearly this Minister forgets that a public school system welcomes all points of view , open to debate.

To remove "ideology" from classrooms is to remove social studies, history, and english classes.

‘All the wrong priorities’- that sums up Alberta’s government, completely.

If we truly cared about teaching kids HOW to think, and not WHAT to think, critical and skeptical thinking should be included in the curriculum.

Common sense! My kid’s teacher told the entire class that she would fail any student who likes trump.

This bill also states that boards need to provide supports for students that score low on government assessments. No problem if gov actually provide funding for those supports! Their money are going to private schools! Teachers need a minister that actually has an educational degree and supports teachers!

School at the very least is supposed to prepare children for what they'll see in the wider world. Giving them understanding of demographics even if it makes some people uncomfortable is critical. It's like saying math shouldn't be taught because some people struggle to understand physics or algebra and it makes them uncomfortable.
