Provincial Hearings: Charter

Charter: Representatives of the largest anglophone school board in the province spoke at provincial hearings on Bill 60 Wednesday afternoon, saying the Charter of Values violates the Education Act, according to CTV. The board has said repeatedly that the Charter is nothing less than an attempt to bully minorities in Quebec, and that should the law ever come to pass it will not be obeyed and The English Montreal School Board is once again denouncing the Charter of Values. "What do we tell our students when they can come to a classroom wearing a particular religious symbol but their teacher cannot?" said board chair Angela Mancini. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
