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.
Ah yes, because muslim family units are beacons of freedom, self-expression and feminism. No threats of shunning or violence, ever.
How this going to fix things the women may just start wearing it outside of schools?
It gives them a secular place to grow interpersonally and develop their critical thinking skills without a literal shroud of dogma over their eyes.
A hijab or any other religious signs do not prevent critical thinking.
Religious dogma does prevent critical thinking, actually. Secular places of learning are critical for the young and easily influenced to be able to develop their own belief structure, or lack thereof, without the influence of family or community exerting often overwhelming social pressure.

Great non-sequitor. You’re clearly not obsessed with a certain topic and shoving it into every unrelated conversation, are you?
Where did your moral high ground go?
You’re arguing with yourself, no one said anything about moral high ground but you. Get a life.
Why are you trying to dodge your stereotype? You were so gladly using those a few comments ago.
