The Alberta government has temporarily paused the implementation of its standards on sexually explicit content in school libraries, saying the directive needs revision after Edmonton Public Schools released a book removal list that the province says didnt reflect the policys intended purpose.

Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides made the announcement on Sept. 2, a few days after Edmonton Public Schools released an internal list of 200 books it intended to ban.
