It seems that the debate on the secular character of our schools has taken place and that social consensus is clear on this subject.
However, the Ministry of Education pays since 2006 more than half a million dollars a year in an elementary school that some describe as Muslim fundamentalist. This school Dar Al Iman (which means House of Faith).
The debate was installed last week in the National Assembly between the PLQ and the ADQ focused on the fact that this school would be linked to an organization called "The Brotherhood" as the ADQ; what denies the PLQ.
The main problem is not there, as Rima Elkouri La Presse said in an article entitled "The ghetto schools." She writes: " Quebec chose to make his secular school system 10 years ago. He chose to reject the communitarian model of education. He chose to make the school the ultimate crucible of a common civic culture. And he has a duty to ensure that public policy reflects these choices. We can not, on one side, advocating the principles of the school of "living together" and on the other, to fund schools which, while claiming the same principle, remain in effect for examples of "living-separated" . "
The school must be secular, full stop . And the state can not waive this policy regardless of the religion in question whether Jewish, Muslim, Catholic or otherwise.
Schools with a religious project should not be subsidized by the state . I think it's clear and easy to understand.
