On this topic since reading, I agree with the points recently raised by Yuyutsu, who asked if we had teachers who could teach religion properly as a basic subject. I think this also applies to some other subjects and also provides a spectrum for many subjects that do not exist in principle - and this is at the expense of students.

I would say this requires much further in depth work by the Federal Government in terms of University reform and teaching in terms of students learning to be a teacher, re a new subject.

However, I do believe we can have people directly from a religious or spiritual group come into a public school and talk to the students of a classroom - and add to the element of that classroom - alongside a teacher, with set standards.

I don't think we should be fearful of people just because they may be of a religious group and having them speak in a public school - after all they are part of our public life.

'No religious instruction currently given in schools cost the Government one cent. It costs the RE instructor alone and his / her supporters [taxpayers]. '

Yes Josephus but with the moral relativism dogma of the Greens/secularist lying is ok. Another dogma they share with Islam when it suites their cause.
