 >>> AsiaNews.it <<< Christian schools against “discriminatory and racist” government proposals
Hong Kong (AsiaNews) — Leaders of the Hong Kong Christian community (Methodists, Catholics, Anglicans) are set to sue the government of the territory in court for gross discrimination against Christian schools which are guilty of not accepting the new education law, approved in July last year (Education Ordinance 2004, EO).
Christian churches, which run the majority — and best-known — schools in the territory, have criticised the new law for marginalising their educational role, and they are standing in the way of its implementation (which should be obligatory before 2008).
Lawyers and jurists say the Christian community is right and that if the churches sue the government in court, they will surely win the case: the same EO admits that delay in implementation is legal.
