Making children attend Christian school assemblies undermines human rights, United Nations warns
----
So, should compulsory Christian assemblies be banned?
Personally I think not. Confronting children with such obvious indoctrination is an effective tool for creating free thinkers.
Britain must stop forcing children to attend Christian school assemblies because it undermines their human rights, a United Nations committee has said in a controversial new report.
The authors called on ministers to repeal a law demanding a daily act of Christian worship at schools because it may contradict a child’s “freedom of thought, conscience and religion”.
Lol. Possible slant from the journo there - perhaps the group contained people from countries with more human rights credibility?!The report was produced by an 18-person group of “independent experts” of "high moral character" including representatives from Bahrain, Russia and Egypt.
