MONTREAL — Eleven Montreal teachers who were suspended for allegedly creating a climate of fear and intimidation inside a Montreal primary school were replaced Monday as the union that represents them rejected criticism from the education minister th
at it didn't do enough to correct the problem.
Drainville said it was unclear exactly what officials at the Centre de services scolaire de Montréal, which oversees the school, knew about the situation, but he said the union was aware that some of the teaching staff feared reprisals from their colleagues. The investigation revealed that the teachers were allegedly influenced by the local mosque. It said they subjected children to physical and psychological violence and either refused to teach or paid little attention to such subjects as science and sex education, a situation that dated back at least seven years.
The situation came to light after a report by Montreal's 98.5 FM in 2023 triggered a government report, which noted the situation had persisted for seven or eight years.
