The new socialist government in Alberta, Canada has put forth new \u201cguidelines\u201d (really mandates) on gender identity that must be enforced in all schools. Rules include gender neutral speech codes, and insist that children have the right to decide their own gender identity, and which washroom to use. The mandates are binding upon all schools, including (apparently) church run parochial schools. Boards that don\u2019t comply could be dissolved by the ruling government.

\u201cThis approach and directive smack of the madness of relativism and the forceful imposition of a particular narrow-minded anti-Catholic ideology,\u201d Bishop Fred Henry wrote in a blog post on the website of the Catholic diocese of Calgary.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch a totalitarian approach is not in accordance with [Canadian law] and must be rejected,\u201d he added, in a post titled \u201cTotalitarianism in Alberta.\u201d
