(Canadian Press) The Quebec government is saying no to some parents who want to pull their children out of classrooms taught by teachers wearing religious symbols.
About 50 parents signed an open letter published in Montreal newspaper Le Devoir Wednesday calling on the government to respect their children’s “right to a secular service” in provincial schools.
They asked the government to force school boards to put in place measures that would guarantee what they said was their right to a secular education for their children.
“A simple change of class would respond to these requests,” the letter read.
