More
than 50
teens were among 300
attendees at this year’s national conference
of Christian Values in Education.
The Christian Institute’s education officer
John Denning spoke on the contrast between
the Christian and progressive worldviews,
giving advice on how to ensure schools did
not exceed their authority. Author Sharon
James spoke on worldviews
in education
and standing on Biblical truth – tracing the
historical development of secular worldviews
that challenge the Christian ethos. She said
it is Christians’ long-standing commitment
to education, and the truth of God’s word,
that
should give believers confidence
in
their Biblical worldview as they confront the
challenge of other perspectives.
Wales sex education
BBC
The High Court has refused to grant parents
in Wales a temporary injunction preventing
the start of new compulsory relationship
and sex education (RSE) in school.
The judge said an injunction would cause
substantial disruption and there was a ‘very
strong public interest’ in implementing the
curriculum from the start of the autumn
term. A judicial review of the decision to roll
out the new curriculum is due to be heard in
November. The application was brought by
Public Child Protection Wales, a group of
parents and grandparents who are concerned
that the curriculum will expose children to
inappropriate themes and material from as young as three years old.
