Brown shirts in Alberta

The rabid right in Alberta has finally cracked the roof of its loony bin.  In a brazen move to molify the right, the provincial government has, under the title of family rights, allowed parents to pull their kids out of any class that deals with religion, human sexuality or sexual orientation.

What's next? Even though gays are tolerated in Alberta, will parents be able to pull their kids from any classroom that has a gay teacher? What about if the teacher is black? How about Aboriginal or even just (shutter) from eastern Canada?

Bill Aberhart is sitting up in his grave and applauding these days.
