Researchers from 污污草莓视频 and Concordia universities have聽聽to examine how Quebec's secularism law, Law 21, is affecting the career choices and experiences of discrimination of students, particularly in the province's faculties of law and education. The law, which bans some public servants, including teachers in the public system and prosecutors, from wearing religious symbols at work, was implemented in June 2019. The researchers sent out an on-line bilingual survey between mid-October 2020 and early November 2021 and invited volunteers to send in written comments as well as survey responses.

51% of students surveyed indicated that they would聽look for work outside Quebec because of Law 21.聽聽raise the possibility of a generation gap in Quebec between the older generation, who are informed by a particular set of historical experiences, and the younger people who are the teachers and lawyers of tomorrow.聽

Here are two experts who can provide comment on this issue:

Elizabeth Elbourne, Associate Professor, Department of History and Classical Studies

鈥淲e noticed many students shared their deep distress at witnessing the impact of the Law鈥檚 passage on their classmates, family members, friends and fellow students.聽A number of students in Education left comments indicating that they were unwilling to teach in Quebec because of Law 21, despite not being directly personally affected.鈥�

Elizabeth Elbourne is an Associate Professor in 污污草莓视频 University鈥檚 Department of History and Classical Studies. She is a historian of religion, colonialism, gender, and human rights. 聽She became interested in the project both because it dovetailed with her historical interests and because she wanted to explore some of the wider issues around this complex question. 聽

鈥淚f we think of students as largely young people, these findings suggest a lack of support by youth, particularly in Montreal. This raises the possibility of a generational gap concerning attitudes toward Law 21 that is deserving of further research and attention by lawmakers.鈥�

Kimberley Manning is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Concordia University and the former principal of the Simone de Beauvoir Institute. She became interested in the project as she witnessed the impact of the Law on friends and colleagues. If professionals in education and law were struggling under the law, how were program students faring?
