  • UK Supreme Court: Teaching Christian Values in Irish Schools is Illegal

    From BTR1701@3:633/10 to All on Thu Nov 20 22:10:54 2025
    The UK Supreme Court has ruled that teaching core Christian beliefs in
    Northern Ireland schools is now unlawful.

    The highest court in the land ruled that the Christian religious education currently taught in Northern Ireland (the same basic Bible teaching that's
    been there for generations) violates human rights and is forbidden.

    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.

    Despite what they say, this isn't about "inclusivity" or "tolerance". The
    court didn't ban religious teachings in schools, just Christian religious teachings. 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.

    This is what comes of Establishment and government subsidy of religious schools. Spit out the public subsidy, then Parliament cannot dictate
    what you teach.
