RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION IN UK

Growing evidence suggests that Christians are facing increasing discrimination in UK schools and health sector.

Over the last couple of weeks, media in the UK has highlighted a disturbing trend: increasing opposition to the articulation of Christian faith by public servants. A Christian nurse drew fire when offering to pray for a patient (here); and it was later revealed that NHS employees would be sacked if they discussed religion with patients (here). More recently it has become clear that teachers can be sacked if they discuss their own faith (and thereby fail to promote equality and diversity in the classroom) (here).

But now children in schools have been drawn into the fray: a primary school receptionist may be sacked after her daugher spoke to a school friend about heaven and hell. Read all about it here.
