RED DEER, Alta. — A high school in central Alberta is going to review how it teaches politics to students after United Conservative Party leadership candidate Jason Kenney criticized a social studies banner.

Kenney says the banner at Hunting Hills in Red Deer teaches students “a distorted and biased version” of politics in Canada and Alberta.

He says the Social Studies teaching aid shows Conservatives are closer to fascism than the centre, while Liberals are presented as right wing and the Green Party occupies the centre of the political spectrum.

Kenney says the NDP wants to “make a bad situation much worse by introducing more politics into the classroom.”

Hunting Hills principal Darwin Roscoe says the banner was created by Social Studies teachers at the school five years ago.

Roscoe says Social Studies 30 teaches the origins and complexities of ideologies and students investigate, analyze and evaluate government policies and actions.
