(CityNews) Parents of six Muslim girls who attend Collège Citoyen, a private high school in Laval, north of Montreal, have written an open letter denouncing what their daughters went through, alleging staff at the school met with them in early September and said they can no longer wear their hijabs in school as it violates the new dress code.
The school later backtracked, said it was a misunderstanding and that an accommodation request was needed to wear their hijabs.
But a secondary four student and her mother are speaking out against the school’s version of what happened. The 15-year-old and her mother wished to remain anonymous.
