"#Bill9... is the third #secularism project released by the current provincial government and the second this year.

It follows #Bill21, which... prohibited certain government employees, including teachers, from wearing visible #religious symbols like kippahs, turbans, hijabs, crosses, and is now before the #SupremeCourt. #Bill94... extended those prohibitions across the entire educational network, from lunch monitors to support staff. Both included grandfather clauses allowing those hired before the bills’ introduction to continue wearing symbols.

Bill 9 goes even further. Tabled Nov. 27 by secularism minister Jean-François Roberge, it prohibits face coverings in public or private #schools, from #daycare to #university. It bans prayer rooms in public schools; gives employers more freedom to deny #holidayleave; bans #religioussymbols from institutional communications; bans exclusively religious-based menus; and imposes a ban on public #prayer with exceptions."

West Virginia reinstates ban on religious reasons for school vaccine exemptions

The West Virginia Supreme Court has paused a ruling that allowed parents to use religious beliefs to opt out of required school vaccines for their children. The Supreme Court acted six days after Raleigh County Circuit Judge Michael Froble issued an injunction in a lawsuit filed in June. Froble had said children of families who objected to the state’s compulsory vaccination law on religious grounds would be allowed to attend school. After Tuesday's ruling, the state Board of Education said it was reinstating the school vaccine requirement that it had paused last week.

Much like schools, these organizations need to have accountability measures and its members must be the ones who demand transparency of those policies. Otherwise abuse continues to be done in secrecy, abusers are protected and institutions are shielded from consequences for violating their duty of care. Children deserve us having these difficult conversations so they can be protected.

A Heart For God. Or maybe a brain for God. I read a study once where they stimulated parts of many people's brains and found a tiny area that would give even atheists a religious/God experience. I found this fascinating...
