Quebec Education Minister Jean-François Roberge tweeted a photograph of himself and Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai on Friday.

“Nice meeting with @Malala Yousafzai, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, to discuss access to education and international development,” tweeted Roberge, who is in Paris, taking part in planning meetings to discuss education during the G7 in France in August
.
Social media lashed out at Roberge for posting the photo, with many mentioning her activism and Quebec’s Bill 21, which prohibits some public employees from wearing the kind of headcovering that Yousafzai wears.
