Religious education in Northern Ireland schools breaches human rights, Supreme Court rules

UK Supreme Court rules that teaching core Christian beliefs in Northern Ireland schools is now UNLAWFUL.

The highest court in the land has just declared that the Christian religious education currently taught in NI schools (the same basic Bible teaching that’s been there for generations) violates human rights and must be changed.

Let that sink in.

In a country whose head of state is literally called “Defender of the Faith”, whose laws were built on Christian foundations, whose national anthem prays “God save the King”… teaching children what Christians actually believe is now deemed illegal.

How the fk is this right?

How is this even remotely just or sane in a historically Christian nation?

This isn’t about “inclusivity” or “tolerance”. This is the state targeting Christians, yet again.

Northern Ireland voted to keep traditional marriage, voted against liberal abortion laws, yet Westminster and the courts keep forcing progressive secular ideology on a population that repeatedly rejects it.

Enough is enough.

If you think children in a Christian country should still be allowed to learn Christian teachings in school without it being ruled “unlawful”, make your voices heard!

Religious education (RE) in schools in Northern Ireland does not comply with human rights standards and is unlawful, the UK Supreme Court has ruled.

The UK's highest court upheld an appeal brought by a pupil at a school in Belfast and her father.

It reinstated an earlier court ruling that the teaching of RE and collective worship in the country breaches human rights, as it does not approach the subject in an "objective, critical and pluralist manner".

The pupil, known as JR87, took part in non-denominational Christian religious education and collective worship at a controlled primary school in Belfast in 2019. ---More...
