AB does not exist in a bubble.
🛑When Jason Kenney lifted the cap on charter schools it wasn’t because #ABEd is unique.
🛑When the UCP adopted a 💯 % voucher policy at their 2019 AGM it wasn’t because they believe every family actually has choice..... 1/x

Alberta is not only not immune, but the wheels of this movement have been in motion for decades. #ABed#Ableg @ABschoolcouncil
