The Quebec government says it will ban religious symbols in the province’s daycare centres.

Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge says there is a “broad consensus” that Quebecers want secularism to be strengthened.

The announcement follows a recommendation made this summer by a committee tasked with advising the province on how to enhance secularism. The committee had called for the ban to be extended to daycares.

Quebec has already banned public sector workers in positions of authority, such as teachers and judges, from wearing religious symbols on the job.

            Lol, do you have anything else? You brought up a point that has nothing to do with the article.

            Nice attempt at deflection but you’re not clever.

            Now go back to your hole.

              It has to do with the topic you. A real secular country would never allow illegal and unsecular stuffs like selling occupied land in places of cult and would not interfere in what people should wear. Those sale mean palestinians getting expulsed from their land while banning certain clothes or item doesn’t hurt anybody.

              How are you any better than a person forcing his wife or daughter to wear a hijab? You are the same just in the oppose extremity
