Quebec to shut down Jewish school

Curriculum deemed too religious

A private Jewish school in Montreal could be on the verge of losing its long-simmering battle with Quebec authorities who say teachings at the Académie Yeshiva Toras Moshe don’t meet with provincial standards. The ministry of education had been pressing the school to offer a curiculum less focused on religion but, with talks at an impasse, it has now obtained an injunction to shut down Yeshiva Toras Moshe. The case is set to go to court in October and school official say they plan to fight the order.
