OTTAWA — Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said he believes there is “religious infiltration” and “Islamist infiltration” in Quebec schools in the wake of a sprawling controversy about a Montreal school where teachers were accused of creating a climate of terror.

According to the separatist leader, the inaction of teachers, unions and school boards in the face of acts of indoctrination of children in classrooms should lead to a tightening of secularism in the province.
