Challenging silence, challenging censorship

About this book

Challenging Silence, Challenging Censorship blends BGLTT rhetoric with reality at the individual, institutional, and societal level. Thus it grounds the human right to dignity; to education; to equality of opportunity; to participate in the cultural life of the community; to protection from torture or cruel, inhuman, degrading treatment; to peaceful assembly and association; and, to free development of personality in the everyday world of Canadian K-12 schools and public libraries. Authors Schrader and Wells have painstakingly presented their groundbreaking scholarship in practical and accessible terms. All stakeholders in our national educational and cultural networks have a collective moral responsibility to read--and to act--on the knowledge shared in this exceptional book. In these pages, you will find one of the clearest conditions for the development of a democratic education system in Canada.
