This is what happens when you become a woke culture, every group thinks it's above the law and the rules never apply to them.

The removal of a Canadian teacher for wearing a hijab in the classroom has sparked widespread condemnation of a controversial law in the province of Quebec, which critics say unfairly targets ethnic minorities under the pretext of secularism.

Fatemeh Anvari, a third-grade teacher in the town of Chelsea, was told earlier this month that she would no longer be allowed to continue in the role because her headwear ran afoul of Bill 21, a law passed in 2019.

Under the measure, public servants in “positions of authority” – including police officers, lawyers, judges and teachers – are barred from publicly wearing religious symbols while carrying out their work; items such as turbans, kippahs, hijabs and crosses are affected.

She shouldn't be above the law, and was rightfully removed from the classroom.

Progressives might try to defend this teacher because she's a minority, but, would they defend this teacher if she were wearing a 'MAGA' hat? I think not, and there in lies the double standard and hypocrisy.

The rules should apply to everyone!

Same law also bans turbans, kippahs and crosses.

Reportedly, it has substantial public support in Quebec.

There are no exceptions for any religion. That law is for everyone.

"Everyone" only in the Province of Quebec which used a "notwithstanding" clause to enact it, in spite of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Well it seems most people want that law in place (from an earlier post which had a poll).

I think it's fine that the people want no "religious advertising".

Look at us and BLM apparel and the issues we have with it. It's not like they put that law in place just to get rid of her.

C'mon, are you born yesterday? posting an English-only billiards, and you will find out that Quebec is above the charter of rights and Freedoms. The leftists are using her as an example to kill the bill. I don't think they can do it even though JT is on their side.

This is a difficult situation.

On the one hand, wearing a hijab is perfectly fine.

But on the other hand, it makes people who don’t wear one very uncomfortable and even angry to see it.

Yet another example of how multiculturalism just does not work.

So, if a female teacher wears a cross necklace will she be removed, too?
