South African court orders schools to promote more than one religion

The South Gauteng High Court in South Africa has
ruled that public schools promote more than one
religion in the country.
This comes after six public schools were accused
by OGod organization of promoting Christianity
over other faiths.
During the case hearing in Court today, the
organisation for Religious Education and
Democracy argues that there’s religious bias in
South African public schools.
While the Federation of Governing Bodies of South
African Schools and Solidarity, which represents
the six schools the case was brought against,
says that the Constitution allows public schools
to identify with one religion and promote it.
They also argued that it's permitted in terms of
the constitutional, legal framework and existing
case law.
Handing down the ruling, Judge Willem van Der
Linde ruled that the adoption of a single religion
at schools would disadvantage pupils.
According to him, schools cannot deny pupils the
opportunity of practicing other religions.
The ruling means public schools have an
obligation to review policies around religion, while
parents and school governing bodies can now
determine what religion or religions children are
taught at schools.
