S05E06 Quebec Awakens to Woke
Manage episode 404835385 series 2763787
Quebec lawyer and Director of French Canada for the Justice Centre Olivier Séguin tells us about a case where a teacher is suing the provincial government to get rid of its guide on transgender issues for schools. The teacher had been ordered by her to school administration to hide a 14-year-old's female-to-male social transition from her parents. The school thought it was following the law, but the Ministry of Education's guide appears to be misleading. Mr. Séguin gives some context as to how this case fits into the province's politics as Quebec parents wake up to the woke agenda.
