(Canadian Press) Quebec’s education minister is being accused of hypocrisy after tweeting a picture of himself with Nobel Prize-winning human rights activist Malala Yousafzai.
Jean-Francois Roberge met Yousafzai while in France, and said on Twitter that they discussed education and international development.
But he was quickly reminded that Yousafzai, who wears an Islamic head scarf, wouldn’t be legally permitted to teach in Quebec schools under his government’s Bill 21.
Roberge was roundly criticized on Twitter, and was asked what he would say if Yousafzai wanted to teach in the province.
