The #EnglishMontrealSchoolBoard (EMSB) is celebrating after winning a pair of #legal decisions in its fight against #Quebec's #French-language law: #Bill96.
The #EMSB responded on Monday after the Quebec #CourtOfAppeal rejected a #CAQ challenge to the April #SuperiorCourt ruling that exempted the #English school board from certain sections of the #FrenchLanguageCharter.
anglo-mtl stuff, schooling, fascist CAQ
' not really one for anglophone pride (and any potential refusal to engage in French), ' not big on mandatory schooling, and the gazette and its publisher are worthy of much criticism, but the interview in this article https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/emsb-says-its-better-than-quebec-government-at-teaching-french is some damning.
Minister roberge's policies show evidence not so much of desire to protect the French language but more of real anglo hate, total disregard for reality and even his own previous whims.
It makes one question ever choosing to raise a kid in québec or even "Montréal"...
Hopefully Kanien'kéha and Anishnaabemowin will be offered as languages in the area soon.

«Should the principal of an #English school have to write in #French when reaching out to English-language #arts teachers about a #training workshop that will take place in English?
#Quebec’s largest English school board is citing that as an example of what would be required under the #OfficeQuébécoisDeLaLangueFrançaise’s ( #OQLF ) interpretation of rules regarding the #language of correspondence.»
