Canada’s largest Muslim organisation is outraged over a bill introduced by the Quebec government that would ban headscarves for school support staff and students.
“In Quebec, we made the decision that state and the religion are separate,” said Education Minister Bernard Drainville, CBC News reported. “And today, we say the public schools are separate from religion.”
But the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), who are challenging in the Supreme Court the original bill that forbids religious symbols being worn by teachers, say the new bill is another infringement on their rights and unfairly targets hijab-wearing Muslims.
“This renewed attack on the fundamental rights of our community is just one of several recent actions taken by this historically unpopular government to bolster their poll numbers by attacking the rights of Muslim Canadians,” the NCCM said in a social media post.
I think it’s a good move that Christians aren’t allowed to wear crosses in public anymore. Always reminds me of pedophiles and that makes me feel uncomfortable.
They’re not, the CAQ is nothing but hypocrites on the subject. They excluded Christians symbols from the get go.
I thought as much.
They excluded religious items that didn’t shove oppressive symbolism in people’s faces. Get your facts straight.
Well done. 👏😂
Fun fact
That report is made by these guys.
You, know, the guys behind Reaganomics and push for the privatization of everything

Is that why the content of that article gives only absolute numbers and nothing that can actually aid comparison or put it in context?
Feel free to treat that as a rhetorical question. 🤨
