Petition on Religious Observance In Schools

Posted on 14 February 2012 at 11:37

A group of concerned people published a petition last week asking for the support to propose an end to religious observance in state-funded non-faith Scottish Schools.

"We, the undersigned, call on the Scottish Government Cabinet Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning to take immediate action to remove religious observance from all state-funded non-denominational schools in Scotland."

While this petition is not being run directly by the HSS, it is as an issue the Education group has been working on for some time and support in principle.

We encourage HSS members and the public to think about the effect religious observance has on young people in Scottish Schools and sign the petition via the link below.

kristen - Hi you two !! awesome post, as usual ..wanted to share an iiasnrationpl quote I read Allow your heart to lead you wherever you may go,Your feet can only bring you to the places you know.Keep looking forward, never go back,Don't allow your past to come and attack.Focus on the good of today,For tomorrow may be thrown away.Go after all that you want,Just be careful not to flaunt.Be happy even when life brings you down,Pretend you are okay, act like a clown.Let the smile remain on your face,So others can see the power you embrace.Miss you terribly ! )-kr

Great - this is exactly the sort of thing I hoped for from the new website. A conduit to making your voice heard.

Duly signed.
