Title Teaching not preaching : making our public schools secular / Jack Galvin Waight. [BOOK]
Published Surry Hills, NSW : NSW Teachers Federation, [2022].
Collation 60 pages ; 30 cm.
Series Eric Pearson study report ; 2021
General Note A paper written from research undertaken with an Eric Pearson Study Grant.
Authorised by Maxine Sharkey, General Secretary, NSW Teachers Federation.
Summary Note "This report investigates the history of our unique secular system (Chapter 1) and analyses how religious organisations are exploiting legislative gaps through SRE and religious programs disguised as welfare support (Chapters 2 and 6). Chapter 3 reveals how government-subsidised chaplains are encouraging the use of this material, while our unfair government funding system continues to prioritise private, mainly religious schools at the expense of our public system, educational outcomes and society in general (Chapter 7). Both sides of politics continue to ignore these issues, which means that secular education and our children suffer ... In analysing similar campaigns, suggesting strategies and setting out clear recommendations to safeguard our secular system, this paper shows that making our public schools secular is key union business." - p. 12.
