see, this is the kind of absurd response you get when you don't allow for judicial oversight - as though reacting against the separation of church and state has anything to do with fighting against discrimination. it's completely incoherent - and frankly idiotic - but reactionaries will be reactionaries and this is simply what you get when you short circuit the system.

the proper comparison to a civil rights action here would be refusing the authority of the religiously motivated teacher, not in standing up for a system of religious authority. but, this is what the courts do - they order confusion in the minds of the ignorant.

please allow for judicial review, quebec? i don't want to deal with this stupidity for the next decade, and i don't want it to distract from issues of actual imprtance.

again: there is a strong precedent both in canada and the united states - through the hatch act - to restrict the political activities of public employees, in order to ensure neutrality in the functioning of the state. they should win the case; they just need to write the essay.
