Sovereigntists publish teachers’ guide
Thu, March 30, 2006
By FREE PRESS NEWS SERVICESMONTREAL — The blue Fleur-de-lis flies over a torn Maple Leaf in Activity 1 of a new lesson plan aimed at helping teachers promote Quebec independence, setting the tone right from kindergarten in a book launched by leading sovereigntists.
There is little chance Let’s Talk about Sovereignty at School will find its way soon into the official Quebec curriculum, but the publisher has run off thousands of copies in French with the help of a grant from the government of Canada. The book’s promoters, including a leading sovereigntist group and publishing house Les Intouchables, hope teachers will shell out $9.95 for a series of ideas to push their cause in the classroom. The first lesson suggests elementary school pupils prepare decorations for Fete nationale — a major holiday and a rallying point for Quebec nationalists. Artwork by a child shows smiling revellers admiring a Quebec flag cutting through the Maple Leaf, with a traditional Fete nationale bonfire burning in the background.
Maybe the government of Canada sponsoring separatist propaganda with your money doesn’t bother you but it doesn’t sit right with me.
