Teacher of Quebec’s religion-culture course illustrates how dangerous it is

The author of the special article below for the Montreal Gazette, a teacher of Quebec’s religion-culture course, illustrates how dangerous the curriculum is. Not because he sounds like an evil, subversive man. On the contrary, I take his message here at face value, and it is a respectful plea for cooperation. But the point is that he completely misrepresents the nature of the course and its impact on those who sit under it. I’m not saying he does so intentionally. I think this is the result of a blind spot inherent in Humanism. He talks about how such a course is consistent with people’s multicultural experience today in many Quebec communities. But that’s not the point.
