The law is weak, by Richard Martineau

Currently, in Quebec, six Orthodox Jewish schools do not meet the educational system of government.
These schools have until September to get in line. After this deadline, the Minister of Education, Michelle Courchesne, promised to crack, for example by eliminating subsidies to non-compliant schools.
Because, yes, these religious schools are subsidized, believe it or not ...
THE DOORS WIDE OPEN
How gagez sure the state will not crash to appear racist? He will "negotiate" with the recalcitrant schools?
It will drill holes in the law to allow certain exceptions?
It is written in heaven, as big as that.
"It is a matter of negotiations between a state and a community is outraged Pierre Curzi, critical education for the PQ. It opens the door to all negotiations and all compromises with all communities. It is a door that you must close ... "
Unfortunately, the Charest government, when it comes to accommodations, are more likely to the mat to standing.
Unlike the PQ, which defends a "French" of the nation (communities must adapt to the nation and not vice versa), the LPQ, which promotes multiculturalism in Canada, believes that the nation is a Large buffet all you can eat where the customer, if he is of good community, is king.
This is not the leader who dictates what the customer is eating. It is the customer who asks the chief to prepare a particular dish.
"You gonna give me this kind of legislation with such kind of exceptions ..."
And the head nod of the cap ...
RAPE AWARENESS
Interviewed by the newspaper Le Devoir, Pierre Anctil, a specialist in Jewish communities, said that "the teaching of Jewish tradition does not fundamentally departs most secular programs of Québec ...
Does this mean that the Orthodox Jewish schools will teach courses in ethics and religious culture (a subject that their teachers refuse to teach even if it is mandatory)?
Uh ... still not answered Mr. Anctil. "It is unthinkable for them to teach Christmas or Easter," he says. "They would say that it violates their conscience ... "
How can we say that the teaching of Jewish tradition does not withdraw from secular programs of Québec?
And then, between you and me, will you tell me how could the one hand, forcing children to follow courses in ethics and religious culture, and the other, providing some children to follow him, pretext that it "would violate their conscience"?
It makes no sense!
"The law is harsh, but it is the law," said Romans.
In Quebec, "The law is harsh, but if you find it too hard, it will soften thee, no problem, it is cool ..."
NOT KOSHER
A small anecdote in closing.
The other day my wife goes to the park with our son. It plays a few minutes with him, then stops to give raspberries.
A girl approaches. "You want raspberries?", asked my wife.
The mother of the girl-a Hassidic Jewish-ups herself of a bond through the park and shouting: "No, no, it's not kosher, it's not kosher!"
Then she takes her daughter and gives her ... Doritos. Morale: is is better blessed shit by a rabbi that fresh fruit not blessed.
It then tells me that religion is not ridiculous ...
