A francophone school board in Montreal's east end has confirmed that it denied employment to two aspiring teachers who wear religious symbols. This comes less than two weeks after the majority of school boards on the island publicly agreed to apply Quebec's religious neutrality law after initially speaking out against Bill 21.

"Both people were wearing visible religious symbols, we informed them of the law and they refused to remove their religious symbols, so we did not hire them," said the president of the Commission scolaire de la Pointe-de-l'île (CSPI), Miville Boudreault.

"We are simply respecting the law."

Under the Coalition Avenir Québec government's law, civil servants in positions of authority - including teachers, judges and police officers - are not allowed to wear religious symbols at work.

In another incident, another francophone school board issued a written warning to a newly hired teacher two weeks ago, demanding she remove her hijab by Sept. 10 if she wants to be eligible for a contract at the Commission scolaire de Montréal (CSDM).

The union says it has been told the warning is an administrative measure, meaning it can't fight it through arbitration and if the new employee doesn't comply, she will be out of a job.

"Basically If she calls the school board by tomorrow (September 10) and accepts to remove her hijab then she will be hired," said Catherine Beauvais-St-Pierre, president of the Montreal Teachers Alliance.

"We're not happy about it but we understand the school board's hands are tied."

The CSDM confirmed a teacher received a written warning but refused to comment any further.

According to the Montreal Teachers Alliance, which represents teachers at the CSDM, this is the only new teacher that they are aware of who has been asked to remove their religious garb under Bill 21. However, its president insists many teachers who have the right to wear religious symbols under the law's grandfather clause have been calling the union to complain about the tense work climate.

"We know that the school boards are stuck with this hot potato (Bill 21)," said Beauvais-St-Pierre, adding the law has opened the door to racism, even if that wasn't the government's intention.

"We hope that school principals - even if they have to apply the law - can make sure that those still wearing religious symbols can work in a healthy and serene environment."

A lawyer for the CSPI claims that despite turning down two candidates, no teacher has defied the application of Quebec's secularism law.

"We verified the hiring dates of certain candidates who are currently wearing religious symbols," said Valérie Biron in a statement. "If they were hired for the first time after March 27, we reminded them of the legal constraints and our duty to apply the law."

A recent teaching graduate who decided to leave the province last month to work in British Columbia due to Bill 21 says she's appalled by the backlash being faced by some teachers. Amrit Kaur wears a visible religious symbol and compares asking someone to remove their religious symbol to asking someone to show up at work "naked."

"If you ask me to take off my turban, you're asking me to come to work completely uncomfortable. It's part of my body," said Kaur who is also the vice-president of the Quebec chapter of the World Sikh Organization of Canada.

"I would feel exposed and that's humiliating."

The short answer is yes. Although it may seem harsh to report a friend, especially a friend whom you hope to go to school with, in the long run it will be better for your friend if you don't let them get away with plagiarism.

For one thing, even if your friend isn't caught on this essay, he/she will most likely not be able to get away with it again. Plagiarism is relatively easy to catch. With the internet at our fingertips, anyone who has the slightest suspicion that a something has been plagiarized can run a Google search to confirm it. If your friend's plagiarism is discovered sometime after being accepted, he/she will likely be expelled, which won't do him/her any favors, whether he/she decides to attend another school or get a job, and having more than one instance of plagiarism on his/her record will make everything worse. It is better to have one's application denied initially. True, your friend may not be able to attend this university, but having one application denied doesn't taint your resume.

There is also the issue of intellectual honesty. You aren't doing your friend any favors by letting them get away with plagiarism. In allowing it, you are encouraging him/her to rely on other people's ideas and method of expression instead of coming up with his/her own, and you are also encouraging him/her to disregard the unfairness and injustice done to the original author. If the essay your friend plagiarized is an essay that another student applying to the same university wrote, that student may end up being suspected. What's more, since you know that your friend has committed plagiarism, not reporting him/her would actually reflect poorly on you, the implication being that you, on some level, think it's alright to pass someone else's work off as one's own.

When I was in high school, someone in the year behind me plagiarized an essay I had done as a Freshman. Her intent wasn't to steal my work: she just thought that my ideas and how I had presented them were better than anything she could do. She got caught and although she wasn't expelled, she had to rewrite the essay herself for no credit and formally apologize to the teacher. When I found out about this, although I was pleased that someone thought I had something worthwhile to say, I was hurt that she had tried to take credit for what I had put considerable effort and thought into. I was also upset about the plagiarism because it meant that what she might have said, the ideas and presentation she might have had, never came to light.

At the beginning of my answer, I said that you should report your friend's plagiarism. I do, however, want to add to that. If you can convince your friend to turn him/herself in, that would actually be the best option. For one thing, the act of apologizing for one's own mis-steps and faults tends to encourage one to improve, and for another, the consequences are likely to be more lenient if the administration sees that your friend is willing to take responsibility for his/her own behavior. That said, if you can't convince your friend, the best thing you can do is report him/her yourself.

Dr. Brett Oliver, a family medicine doctor in Kentucky, recently noticed that the hand sanitizer keeps mysteriously disappearing from the exam rooms where he sees patients.

With the COVID-19 coronavirus continuing its spread across the globe, hand sanitizer has suddenly become a hot commodity. Prices have shot up in recent weeks, with people rushing to buy bottles of the stuff to stockpile at home. The CDC recommends washing hands with soap and water thoroughly, but when that's not available, using a hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol is a reasonable substitute.

Now, with people availing themselves of whole bottles of hand sanitizer, doctors' offices have started to remove supplies from common areas. It's vital there is enough leftover for their medical providers to use.

"I've been in medicine for two decades and I interact with a lot of sick people, but gosh I haven't encountered the level of fear you're seeing now," said Oliver.

It's not just hand sanitizer. Dr. Chesney Fowler, an emergency medicine physician who takes an occasional shift at hospitals in Maryland and Washington D.C., said nurses are now routinely counting blue surgical masks at the top of each shift because so many are being swiped. That used to be the standard practice for controlled substances, like opiate medications, which are liable to get stolen, she said.

Likewise at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital, emergency medicine physician Dr. Shuhan He said that his hospital has started hiding surgical masks in urgent care, and that staff are increasingly vigilant in the emergency room. He said he noticed last week that someone was trying to swipe masks off of a cart.

"I told the patient's family-member to knock it off, and (we figured) that we had to get a better policy."

He believes some people are taking supplies because they're fearful, and can't afford them online. But others might see a money-making opportunity in selling the items. Hand sanitizer, for instance, is currently for sale for more than $80 on Amazon.

Hospitals are not the only victims of the Purell thieves.

Rachel Gopin works at a kosher grocery store in Hollywood, California. She came into work on Monday, opened the store, and within a few hours, she noticed that someone had taken the hand sanitizer next to the registers. Dr. Oliver, who works in Kentucky, said that at his local grocery store, someone walked off with two half-used bottles of it and slapped a $20 bill down on the register.

It's unclear how these thieves are getting away with such blatant thievery. One theory is that people are coming in with smaller bottles that fit into a bag or purse, and filling those up with hand sanitizer before making a hasty exit.

In some cases, the theft has taken a more serious turn. In New York, Governor Cuomo told reporters at a press conference that people are even taking medical equipment, including respirator masks and other protective wear.

That's a huge problem. In the U.S., the Department of Health and Human Services has said that the country only has 1% of the required number of respirator masks that would be needed for medical professionals if the outbreak erupts into a pandemic.

Some hospital executives have started speaking out to implore people not to steal from their facilities, no matter how anxious thy feel. UT Health in Austin, has also seen a bump in theft of hand sanitizer and surgical masks, according to chief information health officer Aaron Miri.

"There's a level of uncertainly floating out there so people are acting out," he said. "I do want to implore the general public to please think before doing stuff like this, you are hurting your family, your community and your city."

As a group we had no significant differences, however one team member gave us a different approach based on the Hijab and Hiring case. The situation involving Ms Abdula would not be the same if she was a man due to the proper use of the Hijab, in this case society would not be too involved in what Ms Abdula practice as a religion, in other words if she turns to be a man probably the community would not be so focus on Because Mr Abdula wouldn’t be using a Hijab which represent his own religion.
