Quebec school board wants ‘vigilance’ when bus drivers listen to talk radio
MONTREAL — A Quebec City school board stepped back Tuesday from an earlier decision to prohibit bus drivers from listening to the city’s contentious talk radio stations on the job.
In a news release, the board said its earlier note to drivers was “clumsy.”
It is now asking them to show “vigilance” in order to avoid exposing children to what it called inappropriate language and subjects.
The shooting deaths of six people in a mosque in the city on Jan. 29 sparked renewed accusations against Quebec City’s talk radio stations that they foment intolerance toward Muslims.
