Children Struggle: Baenninger and Multicultural Society

children struggle: Vancouver is growing and becoming more international, and we should be welcoming to this plurality, said Baenninger, according to CBC. And part of that is allowing for bilingual education as the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is supposed to allow for. Baenninger grew up in Geneva and later studied political science at McGill, where he learned about Pierre Trudeau's push for a multicultural society, including making French education available across Canada. But Baenninger says his children struggle with the language, especially in a minority setting. So he was shocked to find out late last month that the francophone school board is evicting the preschools and daycares from the grounds of two of its schools to make more space for students by September. Their difficulties persist even though the children attend francophone schools and despite being spoken to at home in French. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
