A team of Secular Education Network members are taking the Ministry of Education to court over Bible in Schools. They want the law strengthened to cover teaching about all faiths, and non-religious beliefs, not just Christianity. The protest team, led by David Hines and Tanya Jacob has been in mediation with the Ministry of Education for nearly six months, but have now moved to stage two of their campaign aimed at getting the law changed. The group is also asking for a ruling against section 78 of the Education Act 1964 which permits Bible in Schools classes, and religious observances in school assemblies. There is also a need for the secularity law (section 77) to be strengthened. This is an opportunity to meet up with SEN Wellington members and share our concerns.
