Proper Christian teaching has been banned from schools in Northern Ireland primary schools by a disgraceful Supreme Court ruling.
A legal challenge was launched on behalf of a seven-year-old girl and her father against the NI Department of Education (DofE). In the final judgement in a series of court cases, the Court ruled that the right of withdrawal from collective worship and RE lessons was not enough to avoid the girl being “stigmatised”, as she would be the only girl in the class not taking part.
It was held that providing exclusively Christian teaching in school would mean that religious education was not being provided “in an objective, critical and pluralistic manner”.
As a result, while Christianity can still be taught, it cannot be represented as true. The Supreme Court judgment does not remove Christianity from the classroom, but it downgrades it to the status of "just another religion". And it raises all the other, false, faiths - and their assorted errors and demons - to the same level as the Holy Trinity.
