lol i think it was a PR move that was the political pet project of whoever was in charge of the tdsb at the time.Ironic don't you think when you consider how hard blacks fought AGAINST segregation.
We all need to get along.

Him taking Friday afternoons off, WAS,...according to him,...was for religious reasons.See the problem was the person not the religion.
i know people who miss work due to their kids hockey and many other reasons. as long as they do their job i have no problems.
rare is the job where a schedule cant be flexible.
For the same reason that the English and French languages are heavily accommodated. Canada was founded by the French, English and Irish and all are Christians. Do people who immigrate to Canada not know that Canada is still a Christian country?Dont forget that if you are christian you are heavily accomodated....schools are closed on your holidays. Even if you wanted to send your non christian kid to school on easter you are shit out of luck.
WOW,...women are separated form men because,..."is done because of the male gaze, since guys obviously are just hornier than girls",....that is the workings of a sick mind,...or more accurately an indoctrinated, brain washed, and oppression towards women mind.These women aren't held at gunpoint being forced to practice the religion and i have many female Muslim friends who say that the forms of segregation etc. in fact empowering. What makes you think ppl are being forced?? The hijab, and women being separate from men during prayers and other forms of so called oppression is done because of the male gaze, since guys obviously are just hornier than girls. You don't have to look further than the whole sex industry to see that it's geared towards men. Women are being protected though these methods from guys. I think it's sorta taken too far in the middle East where women can't do shit, but just in Canada there's no issue with this.
I am disappointed because unknowning to your ignorant ass, Muslim prayers have been going on at schools for years on end and only now it's become an issue because of all the fear mongering around Islam going on. I don't expect a reaction of some idiot ripping up pages of the Quran...Like these prayers are being held outside of class, no one who's not Muslim is having the religion forced on them...Ppl are overreacting thinking that's what's going on, when it's not. It's obvious that there's an anti-islamic agenda going on with ppl in this thread and it's just pathetic to see. We should all embrace our differences and learn from one another and not harken back to the stone age
Of course it didn't. Your tax dollars are going toward the public system.Yes, but it didn't reduce my taxes.
But it is in the Pledge of Allegiance, and on their currency......There is not a single mention of God in the US constitution.
Yet no other religion has that privilege.Uh, Catholics do pay for it by directing their property taxes.....
All Christians pay for it through their taxes. You do realize Catholics are the largest Christian group.....Its also in the BNAYet no other religion has that privilege.
God was not mentioned in the Pledge of Allegiance until 1954 and "In God We Trust" became the US Motto in 1956.But it is in the Pledge of Allegiance, and on their currency......
You do realize that the majority of Canadians and Ontarians are not Catholics and have to pay for religious education in addition to their property taxes.All Christians pay for it through their taxes. You do realize Catholics are the largest Christian group.....Its also in the BNA
...
The taxpayer cost per student is the same in the public or Catholic system. You're not paying for it - the Catholic taxpayer is. They don't charge more to teach religion.You do realize that the majority of Canadians and Ontarians are not Catholics and have to pay for religious education in addition to their property taxes.
The fact that the laws make it difficult to change does not make it in any way equitable.
And that matters because......God was not mentioned in the Pledge of Allegiance until 1954 and "In God We Trust" became the US Motto in 1956.

Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God
