Nope:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has not “closed the door” on legal action against a Quebec law that cost a teacher her job last week because of her hijab, his office said on Friday.
A Grade 3 teacher in Chelsea, Que., was transferred to a different position under a Quebec law that forbids public sector employees in positions of authority from wearing religious symbols, Wayne Daly, interim chair of the Western Quebec School Board, told Reuters.
He has been inundated with phone calls and emails since, he said, the vast majority opposing the move. In a hand-drawn card posted online by human rights advocate Amira Elghawaby, a Grade 3 student decried the transfer as “not fair.”
It's also not fair to make women wear these garments or get acid thrown in their faces or for churches to be vandalised and burned or for a sitting prime minister to interfere with even his favoured province's law against religious garb and talismans.
But here we are.
The yes-man bleats as the public might bleat.
