Montreal, Canada - Government Loses Round One Against Satmar School

















Montreal, Canada - The Quebec government has lost the first round of a fight with the Yeshiva Toras Moshe Jewish school, which refuses to follow education ministry guidelines.

Quebec Superior Court refused to grant the government an injunction that would have forced the school to stop teaching its students—because it no longer has a teaching permit.

The school argues it provides a religious education that is central to students’ religious convictions and practices and that their right to freedom of religion would be violated if it was forced to conform to education ministry guidelines.
