"Alberta Passes Law Allowing Parents to Pull Kids Out of Class," a story carried June 2 by The Canadian Press and the CBC.ca broadcasters.
"Written notice required when sex, sexual orientation, religion covered."

Many Alberta teachers are worried that the bill is a minefield, possibly opening them to suit by parents if Johnny complains to his parents about material inadvertently mentioned by the teacher and possibly covered by the broad strokes painted in the bill.

The government said the legislation is meant "to allow parents to be more involved in their children's schooling.
Frank Bruseker, president of the Alberta Teachers Association, "said he's advised the group's lawyers to prepare to defend any teachers who are brought before the human rights tribunal."
He said, "We'll need to review curricula right across all subjects and all grades to see if there might be a minefield, if you will, that a teacher might step in and suddenly find themselves in deep trouble."
Teachers worry that inclusion of evolution in biology courses violates the 'religion' coverage notification.

A group of gays in Edmonton demonstrated against the bill.

Legislators in Alberta thus are following those of some states in meddling in teaching curricula.
