Abstract
Through an analysis of print media and the legislative debates and reports on education and the separate school question in Quebec, this paper aims to better understand the shift from religious to linguistic schooling in post-Quiet Revolution Quebec. Once the strongest defender of religious school rights in Canada, the secularization of Quebec over this period saw it abandon its denominationally-based school system. Public opinion on education is juxtaposed in this paper with the political discourse surrounding the movement toward secular schooling in Quebec. This paper finds that while there was considerable appetite for the abolishment of Quebec’s denominational school system, the legal protection afforded to Catholics and Protestants in section 93 of the Canadian Constitution proved to be a major hurdle in the political arena. After several decades of effort, Quebec eventually received a constitutional amendment in 1997 that allowed it to replace its Catholic and Protestant schools with a linguistically-based French and English school system.

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
