#ÉduQc https://t.co/LEWztEU0ul — Jean-F. Roberge (@jfrobergeQc) July 5, 2019 Literal translation: “I would certainly tell her that it would be an immense honor, and that in Québec, as is the case in France (where we are now) and in other open and tolerant countries, teachers cannot wear religious symbols in the exercise of their office.” Actual translation: It would be an honor to have Malala teach in Quebec as long as she drops the whole “Malala” thing while on the job.
When asked what he would say to Yousafzai if she wished to become a teacher in Quebec, Roberge had this to say: Je lui dirais certainement que ce serait un immense honneur et qu’au Québec, comme c’est le cas en France (où nous sommes actuellement) et dans d’autres pays ouverts et tolérants, les enseignants ne peuvent pas porter de signes religieux dans l’exercice de leurs fonctions.
