Sommario/riassunto |
|
In Australia's public schools, students are now routinely exposed to evangelism from very conservative Christian groups. Marion Maddox uncovers the surprising impact of these groups on once secular public schooling, and the ways in which governments have been persuaded to support their cause.Fewer Australians now practise a religion or believe in God than at any time in our past. Yet our governments increasingly push conservative Christianity on our children...Nearly forty per cent of secondary school children in Australia attend a private school, and overwhelmingly these are Christian schools. Canberra funds these. |
