Canada

As I understand in Quebec all private schools receive some funding (per student) from the government, regardless of religion. As I understand the only requirement for funding is teaching Quebec history. There isn't a two-tier system.

(Quebec was granted an exemption from section 93 in 1998)

Of the 163 private schools receiving funding, there are 50 religious schools. There are 27 roman catholic, 14 Jewish, 4 Muslim and 5 that teach another denomination of Christianity. However, the same bill that banned hijabs also will gradually end funding for those religious schools. Note that they are mostly christian.

Kind of an over-explanation but it was interesting to research, since I realized I didn't exactly know what the situation was.

So yeah the system is pretty different from Alberta's.

Otherwise the general logic behind the law is that teachers and some other public sector workers should not reveal what religion they're a part of since they represent the government, and the government is non-religious. Also, they argue the hijab (because let's be real, the law is about the hijab) is inherently a way for a much more conservative view of women's place in society to advertise itself.

It also should be understood in the wider context of the francophone vision of laicity, which is something perhaps more resembling "state atheism", where organized religion is excluded from the public sphere. I think this mainly manifests in that anglo canada is generally more accepting of religious "reasonable accommodation" than Quebec.

This isn't to say that I even support the law, I just wish the situation in Quebec would be less mischaracterized.
