I lived in Abbotsford for a while. They have a KKK problem and the churches on every corner throw book burnings. Plus, organized crime drug wars! For a time it was the murder capital in Canada. It looks like a small, boring suburban town but it is a horrible place. The Christian right have all the political power and this is the result.

I feel for the teacher if they don’t have a continuing contract, yet. You’re completely dependent on staying in the good graces of your principal to have a job for the next year, and you will only be recommended for a continuing contract with the support of a principal.
But if the teacher had a continuing contract, then they probably should have told the principal to censor the student’s work themselves if they wanted it done. Or that you want the instructions to do so in writing.
Only activism approved by the administration is allowed.
TBF, if you take the Appropriate Good class you can earn a “Honored speaker” status where you the the opportunity to apply for the chance to be approved to talk for up to 4 minutes to an “action board” that meets annually on odd numbered years if the moon is waxing on the 15th.
