Eleven teachers in Quebec have been suspended for promoting what Premier François Legault referred to as "Islamist religious concepts" at a Montreal public school.
The now-former faculty members of Bedford Elementary included a mixture of men and women and many were of North-African descent.
According to a report conducted by the government, the teachers in question were said to have been influenced by a nearby mosque and used their positions of authority to enact physical and psychological violence on students.
They allegedly refused to allow special needs assistants into their classrooms, and denied the existence of disabilities, opting instead to try and "break" such students to set them on the "right path."
Very little teaching of the actual curriculum took place, with science and sex education taking a back seat to religious doctrine.
