Subject: RE: BS: Polygamy a Protected Practice in Canada?
The British Columbia School Act (section 12) provides parents with the statutory right to educate children at home.
The right cannot be lifted for one group and not others; that would be discriminatory.
Alberta has similar statutes. Evangelical groups or dissenting parents of one stripe or another educate their children outside of the public or charter systems.
