Denominational Thrust in Education: Some Issues Affecting Canadian Teachers
Mots-clés :
religion-based education, teacher autonomy, religious schools, educational policyRésumé
La poussée du confessionnalisme dans les écoles: une question qui touche de près les enseignants canadiens. Au Canada, les plus récents événements semblent indiquer un appui favorable à l'éducation basée sur la religion. Ces faits significatifs obligent les enseignants (éducateurs) à se pencher sur le problème de la confessionnalité des écoles, avant que ce dernier n'aboutisse devant les tribunaux. Apparemment, la confessionnalité des écoles a engendré certains problèmes liés au caractère professionnel de l'enseignement, de même qu'aux droits et libertés des enseignants. Récemment, alors que les tribunaux ont dû résoudre quelques cas « significatifs », il s'est avéré que leurs verdicts étaient contradictoires. Très probablement, ces verdicts controversés ne révèlent pas uniquement les préjugés personnels des juges, mais aussi de façon fondamentale, l'antagonisme des idéologies sociales qui est à l'origine de tels préjugés. Par conséquent, ce n'est pas en allant devant les tribunaux que le conflit finira par se résoudre, mais plutôt en analysant le bien-fondé de ces préjugés sociaux, et en recherchant le consensus à propos de leur légitimité. Les enseignants peuvent contribuer au développement d'un consensus en s'impliquant dans la recherche et dans le débat sur l'école confessionnelle.
