Title
Freedom of School Choice and Non-Francophone Leaders
Abstract
An examination of the context that influenced support for freedom of choice in education at the end of the twentieth century among the non-Francophone leadership in Quebec. The author examines the factors which shaped the opinions, decisions and readiness to act among these leaders. He places special focus on the conditions which limited the ability of an influential minority leadership to emerge with sufficient resources to organize a concerted communal movement. Based on a random sample of 527 leaders, the author concludes that non-Francophone leaders most segmented from the Francophone majority and who felt that Bill 101 (the Charter of the French Language) was a bad law were most likely to support freedom of choice in education. However, the author also found that the "Freedom of Choice Movement" lacked some of the basic resources to organize a concerted communal movement.
