Canada: Mennonite School, Curriculum Questioned by Authorities

Today’s Family News reports that Quebec’s only Mennonite community has opted to leave its eastern Canadian town of Roxton Falls rather than send its children to state-run schools after the education ministry deemed the Mennonite school in the area was operating illegally. In its decision, the Ministry cited that the school lacked a permit, hired uncertified teachers and deviated from the standard curriculum. The Mennonite community, for its part, has said that it would not send its children to schools that teach evolution, acceptance of alternative lifestyles, and “low morality standards”.
