Description[?]:
| (This bill was proposed by the senator for Glentingham Fanshawe Arrielle Blay) To force all parents to send their kids to religious schools is a grave attack on freedom of religion. No one should be forced to send their children to a school that teach values that they disagree with. if we can agree on a compromise that religious school should be allowed, it's time that we we establish a secular education system. Article 1) All schools that have been transformed to religious schools under the '' Religious Freedoms Extension Act'' shall return to being secular schools. Article 2)Private religious schools shall be allowed, has long as they follow regulation in place in their province and as established by the federal government. |
