Alberta goes through with banning ‘sexually explicit’ books under new school library standards

July 10, 2025

The Alberta government has issued a ministerial order to restrict books from school libraries that the province believes to be sexually explicit, instructing authorities to remove material by October and prohibit students from accessing the content.

Demetrios Nicolaides, Alberta’s Education and Childcare Minister, will require all school boards to create or update policies to meet the province’s new standards, as he believes they do not have enough safeguards in place.
