Titles like The Handmaid's Tale, Brave New World, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Perks of Being a Wallflower are to be pulled from library shelves at Edmonton public schools come fall, according to a document shared with CBC News.

An internally distributed list obtained by CBC News shows more than 200 books deemed sexually explicit are slated for removal from library shelves for students in kindergarten to Grade 12. It comes after a policy from Alberta's education minister outlines new rules governing books in school libraries as of Oct. 1.

1. There's a reason why Alberta is known as the Texas of Canada

And it ain’t just because of the oil.

2. I had read about Albert being Canada's Oklahoma. I guess it's true.

(Also substitute Florida, Texas, or any number of other states).

3. This is the result of smith and her nutcase supporters...

I utterly despise smith and the current government. May they rot in hell sooner rather than later.

4. "Hey, kids!! Looking for a great list of "forbidden" books to read...?"

They’re out there! Everywhere! Ask around; plenty of people will lend you their copies!

What bigger incentive could they have than a list of banned books?
