Abstract
From the point of view of those who find in it no threat to their own educational inclinations, the historical division of Quebec's schools into Catholic and Protestant systems is either useful or inconsequential and therefore taken for granted. There has indeed for some time existed a strong latent pressure for a third element that would be "neutral". But as Tenneson points out, there are now thousands of children of all nationalities in Quebec whose identities, as members of the different religions and distinctive cultures of their homes, are seriously damaged by the neutral working assumptions of schools - that their cultures and religions exist only as exotic data in history or geography textbooks. He sketches here the development and teaching of a third option in moral education that has come about in the jointly Catholic and Protestant high school in Cowansville. In this course, students are invited to look behind the pluralistic scene of modern Canada, and to ask some fundamental questions about life. RÉSUMÉ Du point de vue de ceux dont cela ne menace nullement les convictions sur l'enseignement, la scission historique des écoles du Québec en systèmes protestant et catholique est soit utile soit inoffensive, et de toute façon tenue pour acquise. Certes, il y a eu pendant un certain temps une forte tendance vers un troisième choix qui serait "laïque". Mais comme Tenneson le souligne, il y a actuellement des milliers d'enfants de toutes les nationalités au Québec dont l'identité, par leur appartenance aux religions et aux cultures distinctes de leur pays d'origine, est sérieusement menacée par le principe même de neutralité de ces écoles pour qui les cultures et les religions ne constituent qu'un élement exotique des livres de géographie et d'histoire. L'auteur esquisse ici l'élaboration et l'enseignement d'une troisième option de l'enseignement de la morale qui a été appliquée à l'école secondaire protestante/catholique de Cowansville. Dans le cadre de ce cours, les étudiants sont invités à aller au-delà du pluralisme du Canade moderne et à se poser des questions fondamentales sur la vie.
