But that has nothing to do with race. It’s a continuation of the process of separating church from state that started during the quiet revolution. The goal is to minimize religious influence within the system.
As far as I know, the more progressive religious people have absolutely no problem with this law. Some people coming from countries with different religions expressed their support for this law because of how religious influence got so out of hands in their community.
People are still free to believe whatever they want and exercise their faith. Just not while they are exercising a state funding or working in a public school.
French schools in Quebec used to be managed by the Catholic Church who decided on the curriculum. Nuns and preachers were the ones teaching classes and directing schools all the way up to university level. They used to wear their religious garb while working.
When the quiet revolution happened, it was forbidden for then to wear they religious garb. They were required to dress in regular civil clothing. And over time, religion was entirely taken out of the school system.
And if you know anything about Québec’s history, you should know that the francophone populations was heavily manipulated by the Catholic Church prior to that and forced people to vote against their best interests and kept the population in a constant state of fear. Bishops were always present at possible l practically all political events and had huge control. After the quiet revolution, the québécois decided this would never happen again.
