Bill 21, the law that demands that people in positions of authority in many provincial institutions not wear religious clothing or symbols on the job, has been upheld in Quebec Superior Court, with two exceptions. The 250-page ruling, released Tuesday April 20, says the two exceptions are members of the National Assembly, and English school boards. Cases were brought against the law by several groups. The English Montreal School Board celebrated the part of the decision that applies to them on Twitter Tuesday morning. "@EnglishMTL is elated with the decision to strike down key provisions of #Bill21, An Act Respecting the Laicity of the State," says the tweet. "This decision is specific to English-language school boards based on Sec. 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms."
