Thus, the Hasidic Jewish schools, they have decided to stay open, despite government instructions.
What, the virus asks you what your religion is before it hits?
If you answer that you are part of a Hasidic community, he tells you Shalom and quietly continues on his way without bothering you?
WHITE GLOVES
What is shocking about this whole story is how uncomfortable the authorities are when it comes to cracking down on “religious minorities”.
Suddenly it gets “tricky”.
Why ?
The laws are the same for everyone, no matter which god you idolize, right?
Imagine if it was an “ordinary” school that had decided to stay open …
It would have taken a minute for the police to show up.
But it is a religious school. And for Hasidic Jews, too.
So we put on white gloves, for fear of being considered racist.
What is racist about enforcing a law or a regulation?
There are laws for whites, blacks, gay albinos, non-gender disabled dwarves, and Hasidic Jews now?
Mind you, that wouldn’t surprise me.
Anti-racist activists are so screwed up that anything is possible with them.
There is surely someone somewhere who will tell us that the confinement and sanitary instructions are racist, sexist and homophobic, because imposed by straight white men over 50 years old.
French activist of Ivorian origin Maboula Soumahoro (who teaches at the University of Tours) has already declared: “The white man cannot embody anti-racism and, in my eyes, he cannot be right against a black woman. and an Arab ”.
So from there …
- Listen to Richard Martineau’s commentary on LCN and QUB radio:
UNREASONABLE ACCOMMODATION
I have said it and will say it again: it is crazy what we accept under the pretext of respecting freedom of religion.
Recently, a man and a woman who were raised by Hasidic parents (therefore, who were recruited from birth in this community) decided to sue the government of Quebec for having abandoned them.
“Apart from religion, we learned absolutely nothing at school,” they argued. Result: when we got out of there, we were completely ignorant. Unable to function in society. “
They accused the government of having let them down. Not to have applied the laws of public education to the community and to the Hasidic schools, under the pretext that “this is how these people live”.
Sadly, these two courageous individuals lost. Their cause – however quite legitimate – was not accepted.
Proof that in front of religion, the authorities take their hole.
Yet a religion is an idea, a conception of the world.
Would it occur to us not to crack down on a delinquent school under the pretext that it is “communist” or “capitalist”?
FORGOTTEN CHILDREN
On January 14, Club illico will allow us to watch Religious cults: forgotten children, a two-episode documentary by Marie-Claude Barrette and Patricia Beaulieu, which is said to be extremely striking.
On, precisely, these children who are abandoned under the pretext of respect for religious freedom.
I can tell you that at midnight and one minute, I will be listening.
