*<\/span>This is not just our view! In a landmark judgment<\/a> in a case brought by the BHA (25.11.15) Mr Justice Warby stated ‘..the state has a duty to take care that information or knowledge included in the curriculum is conveyed in a pluralistic manner\u2026 the state must accord equal respect to different religious convictions, and to non-religious beliefs..’<\/em> and ruled that the Government had been wrong to seek to exclude Humanism from the GCSE curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n
