Disrupted | Book bans, mass graves, and the war on truth in Canadian schools

This week on Disrupted, Melanie Bennet speaks with former B.C. teacher Jim McMurtry, who was fired for stating a historical fact: that children at residential schools likely died of disease.

The legacy media and teachers unions have attacked and labelled Alberta’s review of explicit books in school libraries as a “book ban.” Meanwhile, one Ontario school board quietly purged all books published before 2008 to avoid offence.

The episode explores how censorship has crept into Canadian schools, how truth has been redefined as harm, and what it means when free speech is only allowed in one direction.

All that and more on this week’s episode of Disrupted with Melanie Bennet.
