your comments welcome
Trying to make sense of this ruling.
“principals must ensure new secular instruction/core curriculum is not delivered to non-attendees during the period of SRI”.
Incredible, Access Ministries is a preferred provider of child indoctrination instructions? I have seen their website before they hid it away. They are the ones believing the world is 6000 years old.
It is a hard judgement to follow but in summary
6 years ago the SRI was reintroduced( who did this )
Is it opt in or opt out option? The default should be opt out.
Those not doing child indoctrination scripts have to have meaningful work.
How did the local church get access to the kids for their child indoctrination program?
The kids evidence was considered “hearsay”, so the teachers was the only evidence given. What chance has a parent to complain when they would have to be in with the class with their child to be considered evidence?
So much for secular public education free from the interference of the superstitious and I thought we were becoming a more rational country. The superstitious have access to our kids again. The privilege of the people who can here voices in the sky overrides the rational thinkers.
We need to beef up the secondary schools so they can deprogram the kids when they come through. Believing Noah’s Ark and Jonah and the Whale as fact is not a good start to a university education.

Your right to freedom from forced work (section 11)

Your right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion and belief (section 14)
People have the freedom to think and believe what they want, for example, religion. They can do this in public or private, as part of a group or alone
except children during access ministry time , “no education can be privided”
Your right to protection of families and children (section 17)
Families are entitled to protection. Children have the same rights as adults with added protection according to their best interests.
EXCEPT DURING ACCESS MINISTRY TIME AND VCAT HEARINGS
NEITHER VCAT NOR ACCESS OPERATE UNDER THE PRICIPLE OF THE BEST INTERESTS OF CHILDREN
TRY AND STOP MY CHILDREN GIVING EVIDENCE.
Rights of children in the criminal process (section 23)
A child charged with committing a crime or who has been detained without charge must not be held with adults. They must also be brought to trial as quickly as possible and treated in a way that is appropriate for their age. Children are entitled to opportunities for education and rehabilitation in detention.
EVEN IN DETENTION CHILDREN CAN GET EDUCATION , NOT MEANINGFUL ACTIVITY
ABBOTT IS SENDING ACCESS MINISTRYS INTO THE DETENTION CENTRES STOPPING THEM FROM GETTING EDUCATION “
