Edmonton\u0027s Muslim community share their thoughts on a teacher who was recorded lecturing a Muslim student for missing Pride related events.
in the central African nation of Uganda, that punishes “aggravated homosexuality,” homosexual acts committed against children or the disabled.The teacher continued her onslaught by saying that if the student didn’t believe in LBGTQ+ rights then “you can’t be Canadian. You don’t belong here.”, says he was made aware of the recording last week. He condemned the language used by the teacher, calling it divisive.
Osman continues to say that within the education system there are people with varying beliefs, especially students from diverse backgrounds who are not entirely familiar with certain topics. He stressed the importance of teachers who are educating in a manner that includes accepting diversity and diverse perspectives.
Osman says his concern and that of his community is if the incident is secular or if this is a reflection of teachers in the school system. He hopes the school board will address the incident appropriately and although he said the situation was disheartening, he mentioned that MCE has had positive collaboration with the school board in the past.
