    It is very interesting to see the pendulum swing. I do find the title misleading as the article appears to only apply to wearing religious symbols and it only applying to new employees as already employed are exempt.

    It also doesn’t seem to differentiate between public, private or subsidized daycares. Lots of open air in this article.

    I’m an anti-theist and believe religion does untold damage to society. In my perfect world I’m completely for the removal of all religion iconography in publicly funded institutions. This includes clothing, jewellery, and gaudy John 3:16 t-shirts.

    If it’s private, do whatever you want. If you want a grotesque image of your dead god on a cross hanging on your wall, you do you. I just don’t want to pay for that out of my tax dollars.

    That said, I understand people wear a bunch of stupid shit for their gods, and that is a freedom of expression that should be protected. If someone wears a magic cross, bulletproof underwear of protection, or has to hide their hair because their god hates hairdos, then whatever. That in itself probably isn’t going to hang black people, start an ethnic genocide, or fly planes into buildings.

    As long as these religious kooks don’t spout their hateful superstitious bullshit to the kids, I’m fine with it.

      Religion is social cancer, and religiously indoctrinating children should count as abuse

      It should be illegal for children to practice religion, let them grow into adults, and then they can make their own decisions.

        Invisibilising women will only create more hatred and discension. This is not how what you want will work.

              I couldn’t care less about any organized religion and IMO they all do more harm than good; however, being Quebec, this is 100% a poke to flame hatred towards Muslims… entirely hypocritical

                It’s not a daycare though. Neither is the oratory.

                There’s a bunch of cross on school outer wall troughs out Quebec. The CAQ didn’t see it important to rip them out because « they’re patrimoine »

                  Cool, then if it isn’t allowed to be practiced in schools, then there’s no problem with this, it’s just a continuation of existing policy.

                  There is no world where children being religiously indoctrinated creates LESS hatred and division.

                    The problem is not practicing, the problem is some faith ask their people to clothe in a certain way.

                    Invisibilising this people will not bring what the government search

                      Is a Christmas decoration a religious symbol? Or is Christmas now entirely commercial.

                        You keep using that word like it means anything in this context.

                        What people do in private is not really enforceable

                        But in public no religion should be shown prefrence or even respect.

                              I think every Canadian sees Quebec marching to the beat of their own drum. I’ve never seen them vote for any party but Bloc Québécois as long as I’ve been watching.

                                I’m sure the seed of it was stolen from a different set of beliefs originally anyways.

                                  It’s Quebec. they love to pick and choose their hate. yes it’s specifically targeted towards Muslims, no they wont’ remove Christian symbols, yes Quebec has always been pithy like this.

                                  Remember back in the 90s when they wanted to ditch us but keep the money? this is just more pithy Quebecois bullshit.

                                    Other than Manitoba, it’s the most racist and intolerant province I’ve lived in.
