The N-word has been the topic of a heated debate in Quebec in recent weeks.

A translated textbook created for the Secondary 4 “History of Québec and Canada” course features multiple iterations of the uncensored N-word.

“The thing I thought about immediately was having a 15 year old kid in my classroom read that,” John Commins, the colleague who first spotted it, told HuffPost. “Everybody would have been very uncomfortable.” “Teachers are free to select the materials they deem appropriate for their teaching,” he said, adding that as a “complimentary workbook,”had not been evaluated and approved by the ministry.While he thinks this particular problem is “urgent” and the textbook “needs to be pulled right away,” Green believes it’s only the “tip of the iceberg” when it comes to issues about how Quebec’s cultural minorities are depicted in the history curriculum.

in the province’s secondary history curriculum, which became mandatory in 2017, after a reform process that lasted more than two years. Green sees this and the N-word issue as examples that the ministry of Education “only reacts to things.”

Not all cultures/religions are created equally. Islam. Religion of peace. Is anyone surprised the religion of peace is responsible. And yet the msm wants us to belive the hijab is a symbol of modesty, not compliance.
