Quebec court rules government workers can be barred from wearing hijabs, turbans and other religious symbols

Advertisement Toronto: Quebec will be able to bar government workers in “positions of authority” from wearing religious symbols such as Muslim hijabs and Sikh turbans on the job following a court ruling on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST). The law will apply to police officers and judges but not to teachers, principals, and vice-principals at public schools teaching primarily in English. The new law stops government workers in “positions of authority” wearing religious symbols like the hijab, but excludes teachers. Opponents say the law runs contrary to the culture of respect for individual rights and religious freedoms taught in schools. Quebec Superior Court Justice Marc-André Blanchard said that the law, known as Bill 21, did not violate “the Canadian constitutional architecture” but sections pertaining to the province’s Anglophone schools infringed upon constitutionally protected minority-language education rights.
