(CBC) Quebec Education Minister Bernard Drainville says he will table a bill in the coming days to strengthen secularism in Quebec schools.
Drainville made the announcement in a video posted on his X account. Premier François Legault shared the minister’s post and wrote, “Secularism in our schools is non-negotiable. In the coming days, we will take action to strengthen it.”
This comes after a Montreal elementary school made headlines last fall for reports of tension between Muslim and non-Muslim teachers began circulating.
It’s a controversy that ultimately led to 11 teachers being suspended for allegedly creating a toxic environment for students and staff since 2016 at Bedford elementary school.
