Maghreb (African) parents of an 11-year-old-boy had decided to withdraw their son from the Alphonse-Pesant school in St-Léonard out of fear a teacher would try to indoctrinate him into the Muslim faith.
Cogeco report, which does not name the individuals, the incident started that on Sept. 11 the teacher presented her teaching plan for the year to three sets of parents, all Muslim.
“She gathered us together and started to talk to us in Arabic. The parent told Cogeco. “She said ‘I have come far away to be with our community and to be with Muslim children to share with them Islamic religious values in class.
The story says the parents did not inform the administrators of the school off the top because they wanted to observe the teacher’s actions.
They observed (and recorded) scenes in the classroom and schoolyard in which the teacher is seen separating the boys from the girls.
When the parents did speak to the principal of the school, they were told the teacher had seven years of experience teaching in the school and there was nothing they could do.
