Doors of education slam shut on young Rasta

“In this respect, if the family appeals formally, the minister will consider the appeal and apply his mind in terms of the SA Schools Act.”

All 10-year-old Gornick Herman wants to do is go to school and get an education so that one day he can fulfil his dreams. via Pretoria News

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.
