I don't know the other three books on the list, but Alison Bechdel's brilliant, poignant graphic novel Fun Home is a modern classic. Is it appropriate for elementary students? Well, no. But for a sensitive high school student? Absolutely. @AlisonBechdel is a legend. calgaryherald.com/news/local-n...
‘Extremely graphic’ sexual content found in books at K-9 schools, province says
Books found in some school libraries in Calgary and Edmonton had “explicit sexual content,” said the provincial government.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.
