On November 25, 2009, the former NSW Premier Nathan Rees made an unprecedented intervention to waive regulations, giving year 5 & 6 students in 10 State schools the choice between SRE (Special Religious Education) and the trial of Ethics-based classes.There are a small uprising by the SREonTrial.com site but when their arguments are that ethics aren't as important as scripture, and that the Ethics class doesn't clearly communicate that the teaching of such philosophers like JS Mill is based on secular humanism which dismisses any notion of God, you know that they have no argument.
They are so clearly not worried about teaching our children to think for themselves about what is right or wrong but instead very scared of losing out on the next generation of religious drones.
Well done Nathan Rees.
