New Coalition Avenir Québec government says it’s trying to secularize the province
As a schoolteacher in Quebec, she would be subject to a proposed ban on public employees wearing religious symbols on the job. But the Muslim woman says she is not taking off her headscarf.“What message does that send to my students?” Naqvi asked. “We’re supposed to teach them to stand up for their beliefs.”
“It’s unthinkable to me that in a free society, we would legitimize discrimination against citizens based on their religion,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said last month. “We believe that Bill 21 is the logical next step after the deconfessionalization of school boards that occurred in the late ’90s,” said Marc-André Gosselin, a spokesman for the government. The province has spent decades decoupling Catholicism from its public schools, where at one time most students were taught by priests and nuns.
Maha Kassef, who teaches first-graders in Montreal, says she would sooner lose her job than compromise her values in front of the children. Naqvi, a high school science teacher in suburban Montreal, taught Yetman’s two sons. Yetman saw how they reacted to her hijab.
