MONTREAL The English Montreal School Board says it can’t yet begin hiring teachers who wear religious symbols despite its court victory Tuesday in a challenge of the province’s secularism law.
A spokesman for the board says its lawyers have advised that hiring of teachers who wear hijabs, turbans or other symbols has to wait until the province’s appeal of the Quebec Superior Court ruling is heard.
Justice Marc-Andre Blanchard upheld most of the law known as Bill 21, but he struck down clauses pertaining to English-language school boards, as well as a ban on members of the provincial legislature wearing face coverings.
