The school prayer ban is another misguided attempt to suppress the rights of religious minorities. The school prayer ban infringes the rights of students. This policy is clearly discriminatory as it creates a distinction between religious and non-religious students, and has a disproportionate impact on religious minorities who cannot pray discreetly or silently. This harms the lives of Quebec students, directly impacting their civil rights and religious freedoms.
After the school prayer ban was implemented, students have reported that they have been prevented from praying at school. This has had a particularly negative impact on religious minorities, such as Muslim students, who have felt targeted by this policy. Schools have been placed in a difficult position of being prevented from offering reasonable accommodations for students.
Banning prayers at public schools also enables the policing of children. According to the policy, teachers and administrative staff will be tasked with monitoring how children carry out a basic human and Charter right, the right to practice one’s faith.
