In Nova Scotia the public school system is the only one although some private (elitist?) schools exist in places like Halifax. There is a reluctance to observe major Christian holidays such as Easter and Christmas in order not to offend non-christians. However there is some backlash when non-christians demand that they be allowed to carry their religious traditions to school. Racism is still a problem area where cultures and colours clash. In this environment young children mixing together may be able to overcome the bigotry of their parents. That at least is my hope! |
