A Chilliwack school trustee reading out a steamy passage from a young adult novel didn91裸聊视频檛 help pass her motion that would have required parents to have informed consent on all materials used in the classroom.
Trustee Heather Maahs read from Australian author John Marsden91裸聊视频檚 1993 book Tomorrow, When the War Began, about a teenage girl living through an insurgence by an unnamed country.

School board chair Dan Coulter noted several reasons the motion should fail, including contravention of the School Act and that it was reminiscent of book banning and book burning.
