Overview

Current NSW Department of Education and Training policy guidelines for primary schools ban the teaching of any secular based ethics material whatsoever to children who are not attending special religious education (SRE) classes. After banning any educational lessons from being taught to non-religious or minority religious children in this compulsory hour of the school week, they go on to make a special ban against ethics to be taught to these children. The children are deliberately denied an education in ethics. Instead the instruction to school principals is for "minimum supervision", that is, to do the least possible under the law for these children. This is discrimination.

Anthony has just announced that the special meeting for which the scheduled meeting was cancelled, has been moved from his home to the Clarendon hotel at 12pm. The agenda has not been seen, but we're assured its something to do with future events.

Normally committee meetings are scheduled for the first Monday of the month at the Clarendon Hotel, and all are welcome. Tonight's meeting has been cancelled by the president, to be replaced by a special committee meeting to be held on Sunday July 26th at 12pm at his home.

Anthony is keeping his plan under wraps, and none of us know what the meeting will be asked to decide about. Anthony says this will be an important gathering so I strongly urge you to be involved. Other viewpoints are actively encouraged.
