Minority rights in education #nlpoli

It’s one of those persistent comments.

You don’t hear it or see it every day but, once in a while it comes back.

Like in 2013 .  Some guy used the discussion about access to in formation – specifically rescinding Bill 29 – to wonder if we might be able to rescind the supposedly anti-democratic referendum on denominational education.

That’s actually the most common term in that letter to the editor:

  • “The referendum violated many democratic ideals.”
  • “A 32-day notice for a referendum is disrespectful of democratic ideals.”
  • “The mandate for both referendums was suspicious and anti-democratic.”
