And I’m sure like french laicite this will be enforced unequally and will discriminate in order to target minorities.
It doesn’t need to. I don’t think anyone but Muslims is required to pray multiple times a day and need places to do so. It’s specifically meant to be an anti-Muslim law.
Just like making it illegal for anybody to sleep under a bridge. Surely that wasn’t aimed at the homeless, right?
Muslims don’t need places to do so (Friday prayer aside), but they have to pray somewhere and they’re also forbidding praying in the street.
At my university (US), one of my calculus professors with a 150+ student lecture hall would repeatedly open his lecture with a slide showing his church and an invitation for students to join him there on Sunday. Absolutely inappropriate to proselytize a captive audience under his power to pass/fail them. There has to be some accountability for universities to stop this, but not to harass a person wearing a cross necklace or a koppel or a hijab. Shame this is legislated at such a high level instead of people just being professional and not a*holes.
Minister Roberge has previously stated that street prayers could be considered “acts of provocation.”
Municipalities will be able to authorize them, but only under certain criteria. The new law will also ban the wearing of religious symbols by daycare educators. The government is also extending this ban to teachers and staff at private schools.
Bloody ridiculous. This helps nobody.
Bad law. There will be consequences for this law.
What a load of crap
It’s to protect freedom, obviously.
No shit, that’s the Quebec government argument.
Hey you say that in French too, TOUTE SUITE
C’est l’argument officiel du gouvernement CAQuiste
En quebecois : Cette gang de vieux caliss de mononc’ tentent de nous faire à croire que c’est pour la liberté académique qu’ils font ça mais tout le monde sait que c’est des tabarnak de vieux mous autoritaires
Tout court esti

Good. Delusions have no place in academia.
They’re not teaching prayer, they’re accommodating it.
You’re suggesting Canadian Universities should show religious people less respect than American prisons.
Freedom of religion moment.
