(Montreal Gazette) The Quebec government has opened an investigation into another incident of religion reappearing in a public elementary school, with Education Minister Bernard Drainville saying Quebec will not turn a blind eye to the fresh allegations.
One day after suspending the teaching licences of 11 teachers at the Bedford elementary school in Côte-des-Neiges over allegations of violations [of] Quebec’s state neutrality laws, Drainville said he was troubled to hear about another case.
Cogeco Nouvelles Wednesday reported that the Maghreb[i] parents of an 11-year-old boy had decided to withdraw their son from the Alphonse-Pesant school in St-Léonard out of fear a teacher would try to indoctrinate him into the Muslim faith.
