(CBC) An investigation into a potential case of religious indoctrination at a school in Montreal’s Saint-Léonard borough has found that the allegations were groundless.
Alphonse-Pesant elementary school is part of the Pointe-de-l’Île school service centre (CSSPI), which covers eastern Montreal.
The CSSPI launched an investigation into Alphonse-Pesant after private radio station 98.5 FM reported that a Muslim couple pulled their 11-year-old son out of the school because they believed he was being indoctrinated by his Grade 6 teacher.
Valérie Biron, director of corporate services at the CSSPI, said in an email on Thursday that the school’s interim general director informed parents and school staff of the findings on Nov. 1.
