Remove Christian Religious Education from Public Schools
To the honourable the speaker and members of the legislative assembly of the parliament of Western Australia in parliament assembled.
We, the undersigned, ask that Compulsory Religious Education in state schools be suspended until the Government is able to offer a course that caters to the needs of all students, regardless of their religious or cultural background.
The current Christian Religious Education program is insulting to followers of other faiths, and non-believers, because it teaches that Christianity is the source of spiritual values.
We support instruction about ideas and behaviour that lifts spirits and enriches lives, however, state school children come from a wide range of spiritual, cultural and religious backgrounds.
We ask the legislative assembly to replace existing religious education with a program that promotes and encourages spiritual/psychological well being in families, relationships and society by offering a course in basic philosophy, with references from all religions and great thinkers.
