Not the same thing really, In Quebec, the government is strictly secular, so government officials also cannot wear crucifixes either.

If that woman was forced to wear a cross instead, then it would be similar.

    It is the same thing you restrict people right for an identity you decided to pick for everybody. Did Quebec consulted the first nations before imposing this. Real secularism is religion do not control the state and the state do not control the religion.

    Forced to wear or forced not to wear is the same thing

    The party quebecois and caq are racist parties rejecting multiculturalism like China

    Laicite is not secularism. The American government (in theory) is strictly secular, but that means they can't tell employees not to do religious shit on their own time. A state employee with an unremarkable necklace or a headscarf is not the state pushing that religion on you, any more than a bare neck and visible ears are pushing irreligion on you.
