Former Hasids lose in court
A onetime Hasidic couple went to court to establish that Quebec had failed them in not ensuring that they received adequate education as promised in law. The judge turned them down, saying that Quebec has now made sufficient changes ensuring that Hasidic kids are taught the standard curriculum, which was Yochonon Lowen’s purpose for being in court.

Interesing to contrast this couple’s experience in religious schooling with the controversy over religious headgear in schools.
Very different narratives.

Isn’t it about choice?
We owe as much protection to women who wear a hijab as to women who don’t want to wear a hijab, There’s nothing contradictory.
