Abstract

Quebec’s Ethics and Religious Culture program (ERC) requires teachers to adopt a professional stance of pedagogical impartiality. This article examines the complex regulatory framework surrounding the impartiality requirement from the perspectives of teachers’ legally recognized right to professional autonomy, their constitutional rights to religious freedom and freedom of expression, and the related issue of impartiality as a pedagogical device when teaching about controversial issues. The paper’s brief review of the jurisprudence does not support a decisive answer to the question of whether the legal basis of the impartiality ERC’s impartiality requirement is sound. However, it does reveal that the impartiality requirement is more legally fragile than it might appear at first glance.  L’EXIGENCE D’IMPARTIALITY EN ETHIQUE ET CULTURE RELIGIEUSE : EST-ELLE CONFORME A L’AUTOMIE PROFESSIONNELLE DES ENSEIGNANTS ET LES DROITS GARANTIS PAR LA CHARTE?  Le programme d’Ethique et culture religieuse (ECR) impose a ceux qui l’enseigne une obligation d’assumer une posture professionnelle empreinte d’impartialite. Cet article propose une analyse de l’encadrement reglementaire entourant cette exigence d’impartialite du point de vue du droit des enseignants quebecois a l’autonomie professionnelle, leur droit constitutionnel a la liberte d’expression et a la liberte religieuse et l’enjeux connexe de l’impartialite enseignante comme un outil pedagogique disponible aux enseignants lorsqu’ils abordent des questions sensibles en classe. L’examen de la jurisprudence propose dans ce texte laisse la question ouverte quant a la validite juridique de l’exigence d’impartialite. Cependant, tout indique que l’encadrement reglementaire lie a l’exigence d’impartialite en ECR comprend de serieuses lacunes.
魁北克伦理与宗教文化课程中的教学公正性要求:它是否符合教师自主权和章程权利?
魁北克的伦理和宗教文化计划(ERC)要求教师采用教学公正的专业标准。本文从教师法律承认的职业自治权、宗教自由和言论自由的宪法权利以及作为教学争议问题的教学工具的公正性的相关问题的角度,探讨了围绕公正性要求的复杂监管框架。该文件对判例法的简要审查不支持对公正性ERC公正性要求的法律基础是否健全的问题的决定性回答。然而,它确实表明,公正的要求在法律上比乍一看可能更脆弱。道德和宗教文化中的公正性要求:是否符合教师的专业自律和《宪章》保障的权利?伦理和宗教文化(ECR)课程要求教授该课程的人采取公正的专业立场。本文从魁北克教师的专业自主权、言论自由和宗教自由的宪法权利以及教师公正作为教师在课堂上处理敏感问题时可用的教学工具的相关问题的角度,分析了围绕这一公正要求的监管框架。对本文提出的判例法的审查留下了关于公正性要求的法律有效性的开放问题。然而,一切都表明,与RCT公正性要求相关的监管框架存在严重缺陷。
