Kick out protestors

ABBOTSFORD, B.C.
(CP)— Students at the
senior secondary schoo! in
this Fraser Valley com-
munity, who walk out of
classes to protest com-
‘pulsory Bible readings, will

e ‘suspended, principal
Neal Muhtadi said Monday.

He said the students can
avoid the walk-outs by using
other avenues of protest.

“They can petition MLAs
or MPs—whatever the case
may be—to change the
law," he said. “There is no
need to disrupt classes or
teachers trying to teach.”

The school district here
voted unanimously Oct. 27 to
enforce compulsory Bible
readings in every class in
the school district, as

ured under the Public
Schools Act.

Administrative
regulations in the act
provide for teachers and
students to conscientiously
object to or exempt them-
sevies from the Bible
reading and prayer.

About 200 students walked
out of classes last week to
protest the forced Bible

Won’t interfere

PARIS (AFP) — Premier
Rene Levesque of Quebec
said Monday his three-day
official visit to France
which begins Wednesday,
will be marked by “non-
interference” in Canada’s
internal affairs.

In an interview published
here in Le Monde, he said it
was necessary not to upset
Ottawa ... “which is im-

portant in the present
context.”’

Levesque went on to
stress the weak economic
relations between France
and Quebec, saying there —
was a need for “a more
precise political desire to
establish ways of welcoming
companies and increasing
investment.”

readings and new school
regulations, requiring them
to obtain permission to walk
in the hallway; pay a $5
parking fee a semester
(while teachers park free);
report to the office even if
they arrive “a minute late”’
and spend all their spare
periods in their home
rooms.

Muhtadi said absenteeism
has drop dramatically
since the implementation of
the new regulations, and
attendance now is 94 per
cent compared to 84 per cent
in June.

He said 55 Bibles are on
order from the education
department, and readings
are currently being con-
ducted in those classrooms
where the teachers have
Bibles, *

Meanwhile a spokesman
in Education Minister Pat
MecGeer’s office, said the
minister will not get
publicly involved in the
dispute until he sees ‘what
happens with public opinion
and other school boards.”

Current chairman of the
board Jack Cook stated it's
time to “‘take a long hard
look at education” and
improve the quality of
education in the district.

School trustees are going
to have to watch carefully
the finances of the district
he said, atid his long ex-
perience on the board will be
helpful in this respect.

Johnson said she would
like to continue to be a part
of the district board because

“school boards are very
important for education in
this province.”

One of the main purposes
of a school board is to set
goals and objectives,
Johnson said; adding that
she feels Terrace district
board is getting closer to
establishing these. .

Romilly gave her reasons

Romilly is a

. for seeking the trustee seat

an interest in school board
business “because I have
two children in school.”

Some of her concerns are
communication between the
school board and the public
and establishing and im-
proving French programs in
the district.

elections will also take place |
