Canadian province Alberta will ban teachers and schools from discussing social and ideological issues. Bill 25, submitted to parliament this week, aims to limit political views in education.

The proposal would require teachers to remain neutral about sensitive social topics. Non-governmental flags, like rainbow flags, should also disappear from classrooms. The government says schools must focus on teaching, not ideology.

This proposal causes strong reactions. Supporters say schools should teach reading, maths, and writing. Critics say the proposal removes important topics from debate and makes minority groups invisible. They believe inclusion and equal treatment are basic educational values.

The law must still pass parliament. The debate about schools' role in society continues in Canada, like in many other countries.
