The government of Sweden has announced it will be banning any religious activities in schools except for those directly related to religion classes. It is also directing that in religious education, religious ideas must not be taught as though they are objectively true.
Good old open-minded Sweden.
State run schools presumably.
Really?
Do you have a link? I live in Sweden and haven't heard anything about this
Excellent development that we should follow asap. School is about education and not indoctrination. That's why there should also be a ban on all this "global warming" nonsense in schools.
The Mahon Tribunal found Olivia Mitchell to have received an inappropriate payment from Frank Dunlop at the time of the 1992 Election. F.G. Gael has taken no action against her.
No, according to Swedish Education Minister Jan Bjoerklund: "the rules will make it illegal even for faith-based schools to teach that religious doctrines are objectively true".Originally Posted by johnfás
Prayer, including religious services or assemblies, will remain legal, as long as no teacher in a classroom teaches that there is any reality behind it.

typing into google I found this http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2007/oct/07102301.html but it's hardly from an objective source if you read the language. http://canadianpress.google.com/article ... TBH4hX2s6A This one sounds more like what is actually happening.
I think this is just their reaction to the increase in the number of private religious schools in Sweden. I think are trying to pre-empt any US kind of pro-Creationist education and nothing else. The Swedes are actually very attached to their Church which was even the state religion until quite recently
I would've thought they should be more worried about Islamic extremists promoting Jihad IN Sweden than a bunch of American nutcases talking about a theory they have.
If you link at the links you gave it specifically mentions bilogy and christianity. The non state schools are almost all christian. Jihad? - Hardly. I reckon they would concentrate on promoting women's rights as opposed to anything else in the muslin schools
