Teachers call on premier to remove provisions in Bill 44  dealing with education

Alberta teachers are calling on Premier Ed Stelmach to intervene in the Bill 44 debacle.  The creation of a new human right to prior notification of any instruction, materials,  or exercises that a parent might construe as relating to religion, sexuality or sexual orientation will have a chilling effect on classroom discussions and only invites abuse. The School Act and the Guide to Education  regulation already address any concerns that parents and the public might have.

The ATA’s submission to the Premier is available as a PDF.
