The Australian Law Commission has worked on a major report
that has just been released about anti-discrimination laws
and religious schools in Australia.

This has been anticipated by the LGBTQ Community which
apparently wants to ensure that students cannot be expelled
from religious schools and to also ensure LGBTQ teachers do
not lose their jobs.

Some religious schools have also been campaigning to
maintain their right to hire staff who share their religious
beliefs.

Should religious school have the right to discriminate?
Should they still get public government funding if they do?
Should gay kids be deprived of a religious education?
Should gay teachers be allowed to teach?

Dear Foxy,

In answer to your questions:

«Should religious school have the right to discriminate?»

Any school, religious or otherwise, which is not financially supported by the state should be able to select their teachers and students as they see fit.

«Should they still get public government funding if they do?»

No, it is shameful to be in receipt of public government funding in any case.

«Should gay kids be deprived of a religious education?»

You speak about kids who are already politically active at a tender age?

Well political activism should not be grounds for exclusion from religious education, so long as the student is still able to respect the teachers - otherwise, if a student believes that they know better than the teachers then what is the use of them being there (and likely disturbing other students)?

«Should gay teachers be allowed to teach?»

Each school should answer that question for themselves, but if you ask me, I would not mind so long as the teachers' political activism does not interfere with their teaching.

Hi Foxy, good topic.

You might already know my view on this "religious freedom" nonsense. No schools of any description should have the right to inflict their bigoted prejudices onto students, teachers or the broader community, but they are quite happy to do so.

We already have freedom of religion. The Albanese Bill would remove many of the freedoms of religious institutions in favour of the freedoms of others to impinge on religious teaching and beliefs: in religious schools, for just one example.

The idiot Albanese regime, if it has sense to do do, should stop,threatening to turn Australia into a Communist state and stop interfering with our institutions.

The gap between them and the other idiots has now shrunk to 51/49, and the prediction for Comrade Albanese after the next election is, at best, a hung parliament.

to also ensure LGBTQ teachers do
not lose their jobs.
Foxy,
To me that spells Green Light for queers to flood the education system ! Get ready for mayhem !
