CTV Montreal<\/em>, September 6, 2013– A group of 91 Quebec thinkers \u2013 mostly francophone academics \u2013 have signed a letter denouncing the PQ’s charter of values that is expected to be debated at the National Assembly as soon as next week.<\/p>\n

Although the exact details of the soon-to-be proposed legislation remain unknown, the group is clear in its rejection of the project, as evidenced in its 1,000 word manifesto entitled \u201cOur values exclude exclusion.”<\/p>\n

The letter begins emphatically: \u201cWe are against any proposed Charter of Quebec Values. We share values such as equality between men and women and the secular nature of the state and public institutions.<\/p>\n

The signatories include McGill academics Abby Lippman and Ethel Groffier, writer Norman Nawrocki and activist Will Prosper.<\/p>\n

The letter defends what it calls “the rejection of racism,” and calls the bill a “repressive and divisive project.”<\/p>\n
