June 9 - Quebec's largest school board has been ordered by the courts to rehire a teacher who is a convicted murderer.

Jean-Alix Miguel, an amateur kickboxer, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 1990 after beating his common-law spouse to death. He served seven years in prison. A year later, he was hired as a teacher by the Commission scolaire de Montréal. When the school board found out about his past in 2004, they fired him. The teachers' union filed a grievance on his behalf.

You won't believe the rationale of the arbitrator and the courts. Teacher unions are the same everywhere.
