That seems like alot of over-reach there?
I don’t like religion at all but this is something the courts should absolutely strike down as an attack on freedom of religion.
The fact that „ostentatious“ symbols are in the crosshairs makes me doubt anyone will get into trouble when wearing a cross…
This is disgusting. I don’t like religion, but this is wrong on so many levels. Taking away people’s rights for no good reason. It’s not hurting anybody else.
This is obviously hateful, and unconstitutional, but it’s also hugely self defeating.
You’re apparently concerned about secularism, and integration, with a particular concern for Muslim communities, then why are you creating a barrier to attending public schools, which are the primary means of state socialization?
We already have a problem with parents opting out of public education, where we can build common culture and common values, for homeschooling or private (often explicitly religious) schools. And you want to make that problem worse?
We have much bigger problems in this province than young girls wearing a hijab in school or on the soccer field.
If the government is so worried that young, white, catholic boys and girls will “turn” Muslim or Jewish because a teacher is of that religion, then we have to be concerned about people’s resiliency. What is the problem that we’re trying to solve here? Really?
So is this that big a deal/issue for people in Quebec or is this some more culture war shit being pushed by the parties?
I have no problem with people wearing religious symbols in school.
I have a problem with parents requiring girls to wear misogynistic symbols which denigrate women. I don’t care if the source of those symbols is religion, the internet, personal belief or whatever; it does not match Canadian values and **should not be tolerated here.**
All forms of prejudice should be unacceptable in Canada. That should not be a controversial statement.
…okay but why though?
French style secularism (freedom from religion) really does seem to come off poorly a lot in practice hey? Probably because we all know it won’t be used equally against all faiths.
It sounds like they promised to do what the CAQ is [already doing](https://globalnews.ca/news/11350687/quebec-government-funding-private-religious-schools/#:~:text=The%20Quebec%20government%20has%20already%20tabled%20a%20bill,religious%20symbols%20ban%20to%20all%20public%20school%20staff)
>The Quebec government has already tabled a bill that would forbid elementary and high school students to cover their faces, and would extend the religious symbols ban to all public school staff.
Forcing someone to act like an Atheist in public is just as bad as forcing someone to act like an Anglican in public.
If it hasn’t been appropriate since the 19th century to demand that someone publicly attest to the 39 Articles of Religion from the Book of Common Prayer to receive a public service, then it’s not appropriate to demand that someone take off their religious symbols to receive a public service in the 21st century.
The modern state has no business trying to „convert“ its citizens to Atheism or Anglicanism in Canada. Public services like education should be accessible to all, regardless of someone’s religion, or lack thereof.
As time goes by we see more and more hate, genocide and about every other type of atrocity justified in the name of some religion. I’m in favour of this.
We should do what Japan has done. Forcing children into a religion is considered an abuse. They can grow up and decide if they want to follow any particular faith on their own.
Poor kids. Hey that’s exactly what little girls need right? The administration up their ass for what they’re wearing to school. That sounds very familiar to me as a person who went to Catholic school for 10 years and I distinctly remember not appreciating it. I’m sure it’s going to be just as much a hit with all the children who are just trying to get a fuckin education as it was for me at the time.
This is disgusting and is nothing more than Quebec’s latent white supremacy showing itself – including all the white supremacist commenters suddenly showing up on this sub – „iTs aBoUt SeCuLaRiSM“
That’s what happens when you have a politician that doesn’t have his head shoved up is **s and actually look what’s happening in the world, especially in Europe. I’m sorry to say it but QC is just using democratic mechanisms to try and preserve what we value as a society by defining it’s own model of laïcité and secularism.
Lately Quebec’s political class has been behaving like an IRL version of an annoying Reddit atheist who is bitter that their religious upbringing stopped them from partying enough when they were younger, so they take it out by picking needless fights with otherwise well-adjusted religious normies.
So let’s be clear. State secularism means the state shouldn’t force you to pray or wear a hijab, NOT that the state should force you to _remove_ one, or prevent you from ever _seeing_ one.
By the way, doing stuff like this is a perfect way to **ensure** that minority and religious groups further “ghettoize” and withdraw into insular communities that don’t “integrate,” like caquistes and pequistes are always complaining about. You’ve banned them from certain jobs, now you want to ban their kids from schools — which is precisely where second generation immigrants socialize into the host society.
Stuff like this just continues to send minorities the message that they are not welcome unless they completely abandon important features of their own identity — mainly _symbolic_ features that don’t actually harm anyone else. Francophone Quebecois should know better than anybody from their own experience within Canada that this is a recipe for further resentment and backlash.
