Resist secularist pressure to censor religious teaching in our schools

So Tony Wilson thinks it’s OK for schools to teach that God doesn’t exist, but not OK for them to teach that he does (http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/01/06/1073268031323.html). If he was genuinely committed to atheism then he would welcome the opportunity for his world-view to compete with the other philosophical and religious “truths”.

If we want to provide our children with a balanced and well-rounded education, then we need to resist the secularist pressure to censor religious teaching in our schools.
