I hope that François Legault, despite his impassive denial, reflects on the galloping anglicization of CEGEPs, once the jewels of our education system. Now these jewels are tarnished day by day, because of the laxity of the Legault government, quick to draw the hand on the heart when it comes to profession of nationalist faith which does not commit to anything.
There is no need to repeat the alarming and pressing statistics that testify to the rapid erosion of our CEGEPs. They are well known and are shattering against the immobility of our provincial government. In several CEGEPs, many professors have already taken a stand and are urging the Legault government to introduce Bill 101 in CEGEPs now. Nothing works ! There is no worse deaf… We prefer to create a diversion by blaming the federal government, as Michel David explains in his article “The beam and the straw”, thus avoiding attacking the sources of the problem.
But the election campaign will soon show up, and François Legault will have to explain why he is preventing Simon Jolin-Barrette from introducing Bill 101 in CEGEP and instead throwing him into convoluted scoops that will only amplify the problem by creating a divide. between French-speaking students.
The hundreds of professors who campaign for Bill 101 in CEGEP, and who send him petition after petition, will then ask him to account, without wanting to be told stories. These teachers will not give up, they who are on the front line to see the damage of government laxity. François Legault, who seems so assured of his re-election, can also be assured of the determination of the professors who are campaigning for Bill 101 at CEGEP.
