Your boss had absolutely no right to act this way, it was illegal. If he had tried to fire you that way, you could have had his head on a legalese platter.
The law stipulates that French speaking customers must have the right to be served in their language. It does not say that English speaking customers can't. What language employees speak to one an other is none of his business unless he does not understand and it causes problems in the organization of duties. But that is an other matter unrelated to the language law.
He's a jerk and I wish you get your degree soon so you get out of those crummy places.
Bonne nuit ma fille!
