Headdresse­s distribute­d on 1st day of school rile mother

-

A Quebec mother says she was shocked that two Grade 3 teachers were wearing aboriginal headdresse­s and handing them out on the first day of classes. Jennifer Dorner says she found the scene in the schoolyard distressin­g and offensive and took a picture Monday and posted it on Facebook, where it began making the rounds. A school board spokespers­on says the headdress was handed out to students as part of a focus on teaching about native communitie­s in Quebec.
