Christianity banned at school’s Remembrance Day

If we don’t remember the inspiration of so much of our freedom, compassion and wealth we risk forgetting what we must defend. And the militancy and intolerance here is a warning of what will come in its place:
A NSW school has banned hymns or prayers from its Remembrance Day service today because families of pupils are supposedly “overwhelmingly secular”.

Until this year, pupils from Carrington Public School, near Newcastle, were integral to an annual public service at the suburb’s cenotaph, but principal Meredith Lindsay ruled this year that the school would no longer take part.
Instead, the school will hold its own service on school grounds after refusing to include a request by ex-serviceman and organiser Morrie Whitten to have the Lord’s Prayer and a hymn included in the runshee
