A satirical film that explores how Alberta's controversial Bill 44 (requiring teachers to notify parents before introducing material relating to religion, sexuality or sexual orientation) can help teachers to reduce their class sizes. Mrs. Trixie Cane, spokesperson for the Coalition for the Reduction of Alberta Class Sizes (CRACS), shows teachers how to incorporate Queer material into every lesson plan.

  • Well done

  • I hope that Alberta teacher's will actually take up some form of this idea as a way to strike back against the ignorance that led to bill 44's "parental rights" clause.

    If parents are continually barraged with notices of classes that may be dealing with sexuality, they may push back at the government.

  • @thisisamyfox Fortunately, biology is left out of the equation. Bill 44 applies to classes that 'primarily and explicitly' discuss sexual orientation, religion, etc. so classes like Health, CALM, and Aboriginal Studies need notification letters sent out.

  • Oh man...I had THE biggest crush on Danielle Peers when I first met her in Toronto at the Spitfire tournament. I knew I was crushing on her for a reason. Anyway, great vid! :)

  • Awesome video. Don't forget that it applies to *all* discussions of sex, sexual orientation, and religion. This means no biology, and no history where anyone gets married and/or has kids or practices religion.

  • LOVE THE VIDEO.

  • amazing!

  • Thank you. This bill is disgusting, and limits our ability to think with open minds.

    That damn bill never would have passed if the people it affected were asked!

  • As a Canadian, bisexual woman...I amend those who created this video. Awesome. xD

  • Trixie!!! I thought I'd never see you again! Loves it - hats off.

  • haha great concept!

    writing and overall production needs a little tuning though.
