29x27 - The Moral Compass
September 13, 2015
The Victorian opposition says it’s a broken election promise but the decision has reignited debate about the place of religion in public schools. After a report found that Education Department guidelines were being breached by the key provider of Special Religious Instruction (SRI), Access Ministries, Victoria also banned religious organisations from running prayer groups, handing out Bibles and delivering other unauthorised information sessions during school hours. NSW legislation requires state schools to offer religious education classes for ‘children of any religious persuasion’ but recently the Baird government has unveiled a proposal to remove reference to ethics classes on school enrolment forms, leaving parents unaware of their right to opt out of the scripture lessons presented in Special Religious Education (SRE). Given the fact that various state based legislation argues that education in public schools be secular, should that exclude religious instruction classes or religion in the broader curriculum?
