Messaging from the Scottish Government and Police Scotland concerning the recently implemented Hate Crime and Public Order Act has been ‘disastrously bad,’ but Christian views are protected, according to Christian Institute Deputy Director Simon Calvert.
He stressed that while there are problems with the law, such as the inclusion of ‘stirring up hatred’ offences covering contested areas such as religion and sexuality, Christian views are protected.

Pupils and teachers in UK schools are under
pressure to conform to radical educational
material on sex and relationships because
there is not enough clear guidance from the
Government, according to the Christian
Institute’s (CI) Autumn newsletter.
While Christians
were
given
some
reassurance by Education Secretary Gillian
Keegan’s recent
letter
to English schools,
which said that parents have a ‘fundamental
right’ to know what their children are taught
in health, relationships and sex education,
the
publication
says
there
are
several
challenges ahead.
