Abstract
Recent polls indicate that 69 per cent of Quebecois(es) and 54 per cent of Canadians as a whole have a negative view towards Islam (Angus Reid, 2013). Quebec has had a turbulent history with its racialized Others, particularly in the realm of education (Desroches, 2013). At varying points in Quebec’s recent history, political parties have gained prominence through employing identity politics, framing Muslims as a threatening ‘Other’. This occurred during the Reasonable Accommodation debates from 2006-2008 (Mahrouse, 2010) and more recently in discussions over the Quebec Charter of Values, a proposed law that will prohibit government employees or employees of state funded institutions from wearing conspicuous forms of religious attire. This article examines the lived experiences of three Muslim teachers working in Quebec secondary schools in the post-9/11 context. Through employing institutional ethnography, this study aimed to explore if Muslim teachers working in public secondary schools in Quebec have observed or experienced racism or prejudice towards the Islamic faith in their secondary schools, and if so, how this manifested.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
