(Canadian Press) Education Minister Bernard Drainville’s bill to extend secularism in Quebec schools is far from reaching consensus.
While the list of people calling for the legislation to go further is growing, others are calling for it to be withdrawn altogether.
In parliamentary committee on Tuesday morning, philosopher Normand Baillargeon said he would like to see secularism extended “to public schools, religious schools and CPEs (daycares).”
“Schools must be places where critical thinking is taught, embodied in this ideal of secularism and universality,” he argued.
Baillargeon said he had not reached a conclusion on CEGEPs yet.
