Quebec plans new laws to curb Muslim practices in schools, citing secularism violations.

The Quebec government plans to introduce new legislation to bolster secularism in schools, responding to reports of Muslim religious practices, including classroom prayers and disruptions, at some schools. Premier François Legault claims teachers are introducing "Islamist religious concepts," violating secularism principles. Education Minister Bernard Drainville called the behavior "completely intolerable," and the government is investigating 17 schools for potential breaches of secularism laws, with results expected in January.
