Solution
The false statement about language rights in Canada is:
b) All citizens have the right to have their children educated in their first language—French, English, or any other.
In Canada, the right to have children educated in their first language only applies to English and French, not any other language. This is guaranteed under Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but it does not extend to languages other than English and French.
