Once again I would like to suggest that any cis kids or parents of cis kids who have an issue with this (which should be all parents) start doing malicious compliance when this becomes law by "registering" even your cis kids' nicknames with the school. Make up a new one every week even. Make this policy intolerable.

That said, teachers please resist this by using trans kids chosen names instead. Malicious compliance on your part will only hurt them.

Also, they are probably going to have to use the notwithstanding clause on this (which, sadly, they probably can but I hope I'm wrong about that) because it is *literally stripping people of their rights*. Parental rights are not a thing. Children have rights. Teenagers have rights. Trans people of all ages have rights. Parents have responsibilities to their children.

Alberta Catholic schools are using a controversial, discontinued religious education series called Fully Alive - it's required in Edmonton Catholic Schools' grade 1-4 classes. And teachers say they've been pushing for at least a year to get it out of class. #ableg #abed

Alberta Catholic education leaders say, they recommend it for use in religious education.

Critics say it sends harmful messages to LGBTQ people and their families. #ableg #abed #ABEdu #abeducation

The UCP government said it planned to move aggressively on public-private partnerships for infrastructure projects -- but just five of its 48 school builds so far have been P3s. And now, the infrastructure minister says, they're moving away from P3s as the preferred approach to school construction in Alberta #ableg #ABedu #abed

We had to drive all over #yeg to find a clinic to swab my daughter's throat and get antibiotics for strep...most were closed as were told the doctors had called in sick.
Totally normal. By all means continue crowding indoors without masks. Masks work

Calgary Board of Education emailed parents this afternoon. They are now reporting absence rates due to illness on their website each day.
