this is quite tricky what with the 'right to freedom of religion'
If its part of the constitution, then the school should not deny any person education based on that. but this also opens the door for a whole lot of other religious practises. dont rastas smoke ganja as a religious act? if this then maybe little Gornick would want the school to allow him to have a blaaitjie as well very tricky one. |
